Catch event on chart click

Question

I need to catch event in Excel VBA when I click on the chart.

I want to bring the chart to the front, when it is activated, but I can\'t find an appropriate event.

Answer 1

Create a handler in the worksheet:

Public Sub ChartSelected(ByVal Name As String)
  Me.ChartObjects(Name).BringToFront
End Sub

Right-click the chart and select Assign macro, then type something like

'Sheet1.ChartSelected "Chart 1"'

where Chart 1 is the name of the chart.

To assign this handler programmatically, use

ChartObject.OnAction = "'Sheet1.ChartSelected ""Chart 1""'"
