_SelectionChanged Event

[MacGyver]

I am having some trouble writing a macro that executes when the selection within a document changes.  Any help would be appreciated.

Code Select Expand

Private Sub object_SelectionChanged(ByVal Window As IVWindow)

I attempted using ActiveDocument as the object and placing this macro in the ThisDocument module but that didn't seem to work

well your first hint is that the value returned is a window, so the object should be a window.
(don't forget to instantiate it ' set m_visWin = application.activewindow )

Public WithEvents m_visWin As Visio.Window

Public Sub m_visWin_SelectionChanged(ByVal Window As IVWindow)
    ' do something with the event
end sub

where should i be instantiating it?

should i write a seperate macro to instantiate it after the document opens?

Usually it's an entry in the documentopened event handler.
