Are you sure it is?

so the new question is...What is?
I'm not sure about what exact thing you're trying to do, but I suppose you're trying to fire some event from AX depending on the fact some of the buttons were clicked, right? Well, for this purpose you have to have message map in your AX along with the ON_CONTROL_RANGE inside, and some event which must be fired on button clicking. Apparently AX event must pass some value related to ctrlID which was clicked. Having these all you just fire AX event from inside control range handler. Easy, ain't it?
