The ShellPopupNotification component does not have a direct event which enables the developer to determine when the text or link of a shell popup notification window is clicked. Instead, the OnMouseUp event must be used to achieve this as follows :

' OnMouseUp event handler

Private Sub ShellPopupNotification1_OnMouseUp(ByVal PopupWnd As ShellObjects.IShellPopup, ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long)

' Call the HitTest method of the ShellPopup object
If PopupWnd.HitTest(X, Y) = SPAText Then
MsgBox "Text clicked" ' Text was clicked
End If

End Sub

Similarly, to determine whether the link was clicked, simply use SPALink enumeration member instead of SPAText as follows :

' Call the HitTest method of the ShellPopup object
If PopupWnd.HitTest(X, Y) = SPALink Then
MsgBox "Text clicked" ' Text was clicked
End If

This technique can also be used to determine whether the background image, logo image, background or the Office2003 gripper was clicked.
