Dear Sir,
I would like to add some logic after user clicking redo button(ctrl+Y) in Outlook, so I intercept redo calling and shortcut "Ctrl+Y" and then call the word Redo() method as following:
WordApplication.ActiveDocument.Redo();//cannot take affect
//some other handling here
But it always return false, if just click the built-in redo button it works fine.
do you know if is there anything is wrong?
BTW, WordApplication.ActiveDocument.Undo(); works fine.
Thank you very much! |

Hello Keni,
I've created an email, edited the body, undid the edits and started this VBA macro:
Sub fgsdfsdfgs()
Dim OutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Set OutlookApp = Application
Dim doc As Word.Document
Set doc = OutlookApp.ActiveInspector.WordEditor
doc.Redo
End Sub
This works fine for me.
In what event do you invoke your code?

Dear Andrei,
I have added a keyboard hook to intercept shortcuts,I capture this event when user press "Ctrl+X". after I calling Redo(), I cancel the the keyboard message chain(return 1). |

Hello Keni,
I'd do this in the different order: if you are going to call Redo, cancel the shortcut and send PostMessage to a hidden window (or use a System.windows.Forms.Timer); when the message is received, call Redo.
The exact machinery above is implemented by the ADXKeyboardShortcut component: it raises the Action event when the message is received. The reason for using this machinery is the object model: it doesn't expect incoming calls in the KeyDown event.
HTH

I don't know. We've never tried doing this.
