This will return true if my selection is within an ActiveX Content Control

This is rather confusing.

You first say that you have ActiveX Textboxes, then the rest of your post is about content controls.

The two are entirely different. Content controls have nothing to do with ActiveX.

The events for content controls have not been removed. They are, and always have been, document level events and can be accessed via the ThisDocument module.
