Document.ActivateEvent Event

Occurs when the document becomes the active window.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Event ActivateEvent As WindowEventHandler
event WindowEventHandler ActivateEvent

Remarks

The ActivateEvent event occurs only when you move the focus within an application. Moving the focus to or from an object in another application does not trigger the event.

Examples

The following code snippet displays a message when the document is activated. This example is for an application-level add-in.

Private Sub DocumentActivateEvent()
    Dim vstoDoc As Document = Globals.Factory.GetVstoObject(Me.Application.ActiveDocument)
    AddHandler vstoDoc.ActivateEvent, AddressOf ThisDocument_ActivateEvent
End Sub

Private Sub ThisDocument_ActivateEvent(ByVal sender As Object, _
    ByVal e As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.WindowEventArgs)
    System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("The document has been activated")
End Sub
private void DocumentActivateEvent()
{
    Document vstoDoc = Globals.Factory.GetVstoObject(this.Application.ActiveDocument);
    vstoDoc.ActivateEvent += new Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.WindowEventHandler(ThisDocument_ActivateEvent);
}

void ThisDocument_ActivateEvent(object sender, Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.WindowEventArgs e)
{
    System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("The document has been activated");
}
