Power Point 2007 shapes context menu items

Question

Hi Guys,
In version 2003 I add my menu items to the shape's context menu items ( when user clicks shape and then right mouse button).  I search for CommandBars["Shortcut Menus"] and then for Draw.Slide Background or Draw.Shapes. It worked ok, but on 2007 version I cannot repeat this functionality,

Regards,

Piotr

Hi Piotr,

I have realized that the functionality is not available as a part of PowerPoint 2007. The reason is the PowerPoint 2007 is more inclined towards ribbon based interfaces rather than the classical context menus.

Please refer this blog for futher information.
