Shapes are not able to respond to mouse over events, and charts can only respond if they are active.

Would you help me on Excel 2007 VBA code, how to change a foreground of a shape let’s say from grey into blue when a mouse or pointer is over it automatically ?

Thx so much

I have created a flow charting tool for excel.
I can try to help you but you with it.

I did an automatic flow charting sheet as a result of 3 months work for line item list of instructions. The user had to define where in the flow the instructions would go.
Mine had not only the ability to create a flow but it also auto arranged it and it would add connecting lines.

This was very complex and all done in 2003 version of Excel.

Prior to doing all this I knew nothing about VBA.

hmm… perhaps I can submit my auto flow thing to Jon and maybe get it put up on the site. Of course Jon or someone would have to update the code and look for mistakes as I am still considered a novice with VBA. :)

The “old fashioned menu” add-in is like many others, which mimic the old menu arrangement as best they can, assuming the old features are still available. The “drawing recorder” is just not available in 2007. It has not just been disabled, it was not (yet) written for the new generation of shapes.

I know about an excel add-on to get back the old-fashioned menu ( http://www.ubit.ch/software/ubitmenu-languages/ ), I wonder if also getting back “drawing recorder” would be possibile (maybe it’s just there but disabled, like menu?)
