Can a custom right-click action in a master shape work in the main document?

[danielj]

I have a custom master shape that I've created which has some custom actions added via the ShapeSheet.

When I drag that master shape into a drawing, the right-click context menu items do not show up.

Is there a way to make the custom context menu item visible in the document?

Thanks!

You mean VBA macro?

This master shape entity on drawing have shapesheet's Action section?

Should work fine.  Can you upload your shape?

Most probably, your master contains more than one top-level shapes. It should contain only one, otherwise the shapes gt grouped on drop, and you get in the document a brand-new group shape without menus.

This was the issue - once I grouped everything in my shape (and re-did the context menu actions in the new group), the right-click context menu now shows up when I right-click the inserted shape in my main document.  Thank you!

However, there's a new issue now - although the right-click context menu commands now show up, the script doesn't run.  When I open up the master shape, I can right-click the command and the associated VBA script runs.  In the main document, when I right-click on the instance of the inserted shape, nothing happens.  How do I get the script that's embedded in the master shape to run?

Script embedded in stencil, not in master shape.
We have same thread few days ago: how to assign a macro to a master in the stencil?

Please try use formula with syntax like in EventDblClick Cell.

Code Select Expand

CALLTHIS("MyModule.MyMacro","MyStencil")Hope this picture can helps...

I hope this picture helps again!

Just place formula in Action cell.

Thank you, this was very helpful.  I didn't have the project name or module in the CALLTHIS function call.  Adding those in solved the problem.
