OnSheetChange event won't fire

The Excel OnSheetChange event (in the TadxExcelAppEvents component) will not fire. Other events work fine, such as OnWorkbookActivate, OnWorkbookBeforeClose and others.

What could the problem be?

Hello Michael,

Here's the event procedure that work for me in Excel 2010-2013 32bit:

procedure TAddInModule.adxExcelAppEvents1SheetChange(ASender: TObject;
  const Sh: IDispatch; const Target: ExcelRange);
var
  address: String;
  range: ExcelRange;
begin
  address := Target.Address[false, false, xlA1, EmptyParam, EmptyParam];
  OutputDebugString(PAnsiChar('!!!' + address));
  if address = 'D1' then
  begin
    range := (ExcelApp.ActiveSheet as Excel2000._Worksheet).Range['A1', EmptyParam];
    range.Value := Random(100000);
    range := nil;
  end;
end;

Thanks Andrei

But my problem is that a change in a spreadsheet cell doesn't fire the event, so the code inside the procedure is never run.

FYI: In this code the variable Rng is a global variable of type ExcelRange.


procedure TAddInModule.adxclpvnts1SheetChange(ASender: TObject; const Sh: IDispatch; const Target: ExcelRange);
begin
  ExcelApp.EnableEvents := False;
  if ExcelApp.Intersect(Target, Rng) <> Null then
    SetCell(MyWorkbook.Worksheets.Item[1], 'A1', 'Haha'); // 
  ExcelApp.EnableEvents := True;
end;

Nothing happened. The strange thing is that some events get triggered, while others don't. Can you do a teamviewer session?

One more piece of information:

Excel fires the OnSheetChange event properly in VBA, so the problem must be on the "receiving end" (Delphi/Add-In for VCL).

Andrei.

I rewrote the project from scratch and the problem went away (I couldn't reproduce it). Case closed. :)
