This article contains example Visual Basic for Applications code for macros that create a toolbar that contains a main menu, associated submenus, and assigned macros that run when you click a menu.

This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. The following Visual Basic for Applications macro creates a toolbar named "My Toolbar," creates a main menu and submenus, and assigns a macro to run when the menus are clicked.

Sub CreatePopupToolbarExample

Dim cbToolBar As CommandBar Dim cbMenuBar As CommandBarPopup Dim cbSuBMnu1 As CommandBarButton Dim cbSuBMnu2 As CommandBarPopup Dim cbSuBMnu2_PopUp As CommandBarButton Dim strToolBar As String Dim iCount As Integer

' Replace "My Toolbar" with a name ' you want to use for your toolbar. strToolBar = "My Toolbar"

' If a toolbar of this name already exists, ' append a number to the end of name to     ' differentiate one from the other. For Each cbToolBar In CommandBars If Left$(cbToolBar.Name, Len(strToolBar)) = strToolBar Then iCount = iCount + 1 End If     Next

If iCount > 0 Then strToolBar = strToolBar & iCount

' Create and display the Toolbar. Set cbToolBar = CommandBars.Add(Name:=strToolBar, _        Position:=msoBarFloating) cbToolBar.Visible = True

' Create Main PopUp Menu on Toolbar. Set cbMenuBar = cbToolBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup) cbMenuBar.Caption = "Main Menu"

' Add a Menu Button and a Popup ' Menu to the "Main PopUp Menu." With cbMenuBar.Controls Set cbSuBMnu1 = .Add(Type:=msoControlButton) Set cbSuBMnu2 = .Add(Type:=msoControlPopup) End With

' Set properties for the sub ' button and popup menus. With cbSuBMnu1 .Caption = "Sub Menu 1 (Button)" .Style = msoButtonCaption .OnAction = "ButtonAction1" ' <- Macro to run when clicked. End With With cbSuBMnu2 .Caption = "Sub Menu 2 (Popup)" End With

' Add Popup menu to Sub Menu 2 With cbSuBMnu2.Controls Set cbSuBMnu2_PopUp = .Add(Type:=msoControlButton) End With With cbSuBMnu2_PopUp .Caption = "Popup 1" .OnAction = "ButtonAction2" ' <- Macro to run when clicked. End With End Sub

When you click the menu item, one the following example macros runs (these macros are associated with the button items by the OnAction property):

Sub ButtonAction1 MsgBox "Button Click." End Sub Sub ButtonAction2 MsgBox "Pop Up Button Click." End Sub
