Excel, ThisAddIn.vb: why is Application.SheetFollowHyperlink not called for =HYPERLINK()

Question

I\'m trying to detect clicked hyperlinks in Excel. The Application.SheetFollowHyperlink Event claims that it will be called \"when you click any hyperlink in Microsoft Excel.\"<

Answer 1

I seem to have solved the issue, although I'm not sure why the following works while the code I used above doesn't:

Private HyperlinkFollower As Excel.DocEvents_FollowHyperlinkEventHandler

Private Sub CalledWhenHyperlinkClicked(ByVal Target As Excel.Hyperlink)
    Dim w As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Window = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveWindow
    MsgBox("hyperlink clicked")
End Sub

EventDel_HyperlinkFollower = New Excel.DocEvents_FollowHyperlinkEventHandler(AddressOf CalledWhenHyperlinkClicked)

AddHandler worksheet.FollowHyperlink, EventDel_HyperlinkFollower
