It seems like all VBIDE.CommandBarEvents (Visual Basic Command Bar buttons) which you need to catch should be declared separately. For example, if you want to get particular event from Save button. You should do it something like this (And this example returns only one buttons click event):

This is written in VB help files

private withevents ce as CommandBarEvents ' Sub Test() Dim c as CommandBarControl set c = Application.VBE.CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls(2) set ce = Application.VBE.Events.CommandBarEvents(c) End Sub ' private Sub ce_Click(byval CommandBarControl as Object, Handled as Boolean, CancelDefault as Boolean) ' Put event-handling code here End Sub '

So I made simple class for hooking these events. This class captures the events for every buttons click event.

How this works

This class ctlCmdEvent can act both as ParentClass and ChildClass.

SetEvents method collects all CommandBarControls and creates a new ChildClass for each control. This ChildClass is able to get its control event (Click). ChildClass directs the event back to ParentClass which rises event back to the first user object.
