Get history of changes in MS PPT / tracking of clicked ribbon buttons of 3rd party application

Question

See more:

I wonder if there is a way to track the names/labels of clicked ribbon Buttons of a 3rd Party application e.g. MS PowerPoint? Or is there a way to get the history of the changes made to a presentation programmatically? I know that Ribbon Controls are not windows so they has no handles.. But there must be a way to get Information about actions taken in a project in which a ribbon Control is used. Usually these are Applications where you have a project to work with or a document to edit via Ribbon Controls. Does WinAPI provide things like that or do i have to look at another API.

Any suggestion?

I would highly appreciate it..

Thank you.

What I have tried:

Google, Reading about event tracing for Windows / Listening for Ribbon Events

There is even a CodeProject article on the subject: Spying Window Messages from the Inside[^].

Hi Richard,

thank your very much for answering to my question.

I downloaded the demo version, but when i try to Run the Demo it says "Deviare is not installed, please download and install Deviare" but Deviare is installed already.

I downloaded it from http://www.nektra.com/products/deviare-api-hook-windows/download/

I Installed the old version.

What am i doing wrong?

Thank you in advance
