Chart Event (Double Click on Chart)
The example file attached shows how to create events for charts. Here, I have created double click event for charts. The chart which is double-clicked is exported to PowerPoint. Download the example file and have a look for yourself. See the code in Thisworkbook and mod_PPT module.

But what do I need to do with the chart/shape to activate it?

MyShape.Onaction = "'" & activeworkbook.name & "'!macro_name"
But the Chart object does not have the function named "OnAction". How do i do it?
Or can I refer to a shape inside the Chart somehow? (Dont now if charts consists of shapes)
Or do I need to use classes?
Thank you.
