Creating Event Handlers Programmatically

pluviosilla · #1 11-05-2014, 06:42 PM

Lots of stuff on the internet for doing this in Visual Basic & Excel VBA, but so far I haven't found any examples for Word VBA.

I'm looking for a Word VBA substitute for Visual Basic's AddHandler function.

Please don't post multiple questions about the same issue (duplicate deleted). For event handling in Word, see, for example:

The links you provide do not explain how to programmaticly generate event handlers. Perhaps that can't be done in Word VBA. If not, please tell me. That also would be useful information.

The links you provide duplicate this one:

Great links. Neither address my question.

To programmatically add code to a Word document or template requires the basic process as for Excel, etc.:
1. Set a reference to Microsoft Visual Basic For Applications Extensibility.
2. Give trusted access to the VBE.

The Excel procedure below will add a new module named "NewModule" to ThisWorkbook:

Code:

Sub AddModule()
Dim VBComp As VBComponent
Set VBComp = ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents.Add(vbext_ct_StdModule)
VBComp.Name = "NewModule"
Application.Visible = True
End Sub

The Word equivalent is:

Code:

Sub AddModule()
Dim VBComp As VBComponent
Set VBComp = ThisDocument.VBProject.VBComponents.Add(vbext_ct_StdModule)
VBComp.Name = "NewModule"
Application.Visible = True
End Sub

If this isn't the kind of thing you need, you need to say what it is you do need.

Word VBA is not as open as Excel VBA regarding events. It would help if you were specific about what you want to accomplish.
