PP How to send ActiveX control to back

[nikki333]

Hi folks

Yet another issue with PP, but not necessarily directly related to VB:

So, I added two Checkboxes (Ja/Nein, see below, right screenshot) to a slide, which I'd like to pop up together with an animation on mouse click (ie. description about the purpose of the boxes). Unfortunately, Checkboxes can't be included in the animation, which is why I added a white box on top them and told the animation to make it disappear on click (see below, left screenshot). All good so far.

However, when running the presentation, the Checkboxes will always be brought to the front, making the white boxes useless.

Does anybody know a workaround this?

ActivX object always move to the front.

You can create your own non activx "checkbox" though which can be covered.

Thank you John, that does the trick and looks way better than the archaic ActiveX Checkboxes :)

However, although it works, I don't really understand how the procedure is triggered; the code is so simple, and there is no referral to the name of the rectangle. For example, when I insert another rectangle box, run the presentation and click on that one, nothing happens.

The code auto references the shape clicked just give each shape an action of run macro (the same macro)
