OVERVIEW
========
To perform many of the common tasks that are associated with customizing
menu bars and menus in Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows, use the Customize
dialog box (click Customize on the Tools menu). To perform more advanced
tasks, or to tailor menu bars and menus for a custom application, you may
want to create Visual Basic for Applications procedures.
For more information about using the Customize dialog box, click the Office
Assistant, type "customize menubar" (without the quotation marks), click
Search, and then click to view a topic.
This Application Note can help you learn techniques for writing Visual
Basic for Applications code for customizing menu bars, menus, menu items,
submenus, and shortcut menus.

VISUAL BASIC FOR APPLICATIONS CODE EXAMPLES AND TIPS
====================================================
Command Bars
------------
In Microsoft Excel 97, menu bars and toolbars are referred to as the same
programmable object type, the CommandBar object. Within the CommandBar
object are the controls that you use to refer to menus, menu items,
submenus, and shortcut menus. With each control, you use a constant in the
Type argument to specify which type of control to use for the menu,
submenu, or menu item. For example, the MsoControlButton constant refers to
menu items on menus. This Application Note discusses customizing and
controlling command bar menus using Visual Basic for Applications.
Control Constants
-----------------
The following is a list of the various control constants that specify the
type of graphical control to use for a particular menu bar control:
MsoControlButton MsoControlGraphicDropdown
MsoControlButtonDropdown MsoControlGraphicPopup
MsoControlButtonPopup MsoControlGrid
MsoControlComboBox MsoControlLabel
MsoControlCustom MsoControlOCXDropDown
MsoControlDropdown MsoControlPopup
MsoControlEdit MsoControlSplitButtonMRUPopup
MsoControlExpandingGrid MsoControlSplitButtonPopup
MsoControlGauge MsoControlSplitDro pdown
MsoControlGenericDropdown MsoControlSplitExpandingGrid
MsoControlGraphicCombo
Manipulating menus in Microsoft Excel primarily involves using the
constants MsoControlButton (menu commands), MsoControlPopUp (menus), and
MsoBarPopup (shortcut menu bars). For a graphical explanation of each
constant, click the Office Assistant in the Visual Basic Editor, type
"property" (without the quotation marks), click Search, and then click to
view the "Type Property (Microsoft Office Reference)" topic.
Menu Bars
---------
A menu bar, which is a kind of command bar, is the kind of object on which
you add menus, menu items, and submenus.
The Office Assistant in Microsoft Office Visual Basic Help can help you
find information about the topics in the following table.
For Information About This Topic Search for
-------------------------------------------------------------
To add a new menu bar Add menubar
To activate a created or built-in menu bar Show menubar
To delete a custom menu bar Delete menubar
To determine whether a menu is built-in Builtin menubar
To restore all built-in menu bars, menus, Restore menubar
and menu items
The built-in menu bars that are included in Microsoft Excel 97 are listed
in the following table.
Built-in Menu Bar Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Worksheet menu bar The menu bar that appears when a worksheet
is activated
Chart menu bar The menu bar that appears when a chart
sheet or a chart object is selected
Returning an ID for a Command Bar Control:
Each command bar control has a unique ID. To return an ID for a control,
use a macro.
This following example returns the ID for the Tools menu control on the
Chart menu bar:
Sub Id_Control ()
Dim myId as Object
set myId = CommandBars("Chart Menu Bar").Controls("Tools")
MsgBox myId.Caption & Chr(13) & MyId.Id
End Sub
For additional information, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:
ARTICLE-ID: Q159466
TITLE : XL97: List of ID Numbers for Built-In Command Bar Controls
Saving the Active State (for Built-in or Customized Menu Bars):
You may want to declare OriginalMenuBar a public variable so that a
subroutine can use it in an another subroutine, such as an Auto_Close
subroutine. Declaring and using the variable this way resets the user's
previous menu bar to its original state. The following sample macro resets
the menu bar:
Public OriginalMenuBar as Object
Sub MenuBars_Capture()
Set OriginalMenuBar = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar
End Sub
The following sample macro recovers the captured menu bar:
Sub MenuBars_Recover()
OriginalMenuBar.Visible = True
End Sub
Determining the Name of the Active Menu Bar:
The following sample macro returns the name of the active menu bar:
Sub MenuBars_GetName()
MsgBox CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Name
End Sub
Creating a Custom Command Bar:
The following example creates a custom command bar named My Command Bar:
Sub MenuBar_Create()
Application.CommandBars.Add Name:="My command bar"
End Sub
NOTE: The command bar is empty because no controls were added to it. It
does not appear until you display it.
Displaying a Custom Command Bar:
The following example creates and then displays a custom My Custom Bar menu
bar, and then replaces the built-in menu bar:
Sub MenuBar_Show()
Dim myNewBar as Object
' Setting the menubar property to True replaces the built-in menu
' bar.
Set myNewBar = CommandBars.Add (Name:="My Custom Bar", MenuBar:=True)
' You must first enable your custom menu bar before you make it
' visible.
' Enabling a menu bar adds it to the list of available menu bars on
' the Customize dialog box.
MyNewBar.Enabled = True
MyNewBar.Visible = True
End Sub
NOTE: The menu bar is empty because no controls were added to it. See the
"Menu Items" section for examples that add controls to menu bars.
Deleting a Custom Command Bar:
The following example deletes the custom menu bar named My Custom Bar that
you created in the previous example:
Sub MenuBar_Delete()
CommandBars("My Custom Bar").Delete
End Sub
NOTE: You can only disable built-in command bars; you cannot delete them.
Hiding a Command Bar:
The following example hides the built-in Worksheet menu bar:
Sub MenuBar_Disable()
CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Enabled = False
End Sub
Displaying a Command Bar:
The following example displays the built-in Worksheet menu bar:
Sub MenuBar_Display()
CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Enabled = True
End Sub
Restoring a Built-in Command Bar:
Restoring a menu bar resets the default controls (menus and menu items).
The following example restores the built-in Worksheet menu bar:
Sub MenuBar_Restore()
CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Reset
End Sub
NOTE: You can reset only built-in menu bars; you cannot reset a custom menu
bar.
Menus
-----
You can add menus to a custom or built-in menu bar.
The Office Assistant in Microsoft Office Visual Basic Help can help you
find information about the topics in the following table.
For Information About This Topic Search for

Adding a Custom Menu Control to a Command Bar:
The following example adds the myMenu menu to the Worksheet menu bar:
Sub Menu_Create()
Dim myMnu As Object
Set myMnu = CommandBars("worksheet menu bar").Controls. _
Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, before:=3)
With myMnu
' The "&" denotes a shortcut key assignment (Alt+M in this case).
.Caption = "my&Menu"
End With
End Sub
Disabling a Menu Control on a Command Bar:
A menu that is disabled appears dimmed and is not available.
The following example disables the File menu:
Sub Menu_Disable()
CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("File").Enabled = False
End Sub
Enabling a Menu Control on a Command Bar:
The following example enables the File menu that you disabled in the
previous example:
Sub Menu_Enable()
CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("File").Enabled = True
End Sub
Deleting a Menu Control on a Command Bar:
The following example deletes the Help menu from the Worksheet menu bar:
Sub Menu_Delete()
CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("Help").Delete
End Sub
Restoring a Menu Control on a Command Bar:
To restore a menu control, you must know the identification (ID) number for
the control. To determine the ID number, see the "Returning an ID for a
Command Bar Control" section.
The following example restores the Help menu on the Worksheet menu bar:
Sub Menu_Restore()
Dim myMnu As Object
Set myMnu = CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar")
' Id 30010 refers to the Help menu control.
myMnu.Controls.Add Type:=msoControlPopup, Id:=30010, before:=10
myMnu.Reset
End Sub
Menu Items
----------
You can add menu item controls to or remove them from built-in or custom
menu controls on command bars. Each command bar control has a unique
identification number (ID). An ellipsis (...) that follows a menu item
caption denotes a menu item that opens a dialog box. Menu items with a
small, black arrow after the caption display one or more submenu items.
The Office Assistant in Microsoft Office Visual Basic Help can help you
find information about the topics in the following table.

To delete a menu item Delete menuitem
To disable a custom menu item Disable menuitem
Adding a Separator Bar to a Menu Control:
A separator bar is a horizontal line that separates menu commands on a
menu.
The following example adds a separator bar before the Worksheet command on
the Insert menu:
Sub menuItem_AddSeparator()
CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("Insert") _
.Controls("Worksheet").BeginGroup = True
End Sub
NOTE: To remove a separator bar, set the BeginGroup property to False.
Creating a Custom Menu Item Control on a Menu:
The following example creates a new command called Custom1 on the Tools
menu of the Worksheet menu bar, and then runs the macro Code_Custom1 when
you click Custom1:
Sub menuItem_Create()
With CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("Tools")
.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, Before:=1).Caption = _
"Custom1"
.Controls("Custom1").OnAction = "Code_Custom1"
End With
End Sub
NOTE: This is the code that runs when you click Custom1.
Sub Code_Custom1()
MsgBox "you clicked Custom1"
End Sub
Placing a Check Mark Next to a Menu Item Control:
The following example places a check mark next to the Custom1 command if it
is not selected and removes the check mark if it is selected:
Sub menuItem_checkMark()
Dim myPopup as Object
Set myPopup = CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("Tools")
If myPopup.Controls("Custom1").State = msoButtonDown Then
' Remove check mark next to menu item.
myPopup.Controls("Custom1").State = msoButtonUp
MsgBox "Custom1 is now unchecked"
Else
' Add check mark next to menu item.
myPopup.Controls("Custom1").State = msoButtonDown
MsgBox "Custom1 is now checked"
End If
End Sub
Disabling a Menu Item Control on a Command Bar:
Menu items that are disabled appear dimmed and are not available.
The following example disables the Custom1 menu item that you created on
the Tools menu:
Sub MenuItem_Disable()
Dim myCmd as Object
Set myCmd = CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("Tools")
myCmd.Controls("Custom1").Enabled = False
End Sub
Enabling a Menu Item Control on a Command Bar:
The following example enables the Custom1 menu item that you disabled in
the previous example:
Sub MenuItem_Enable()
Dim myCmd as Object
Set myCmd = CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("Tools")
myCmd.Controls("Custom1").Enabled = True
End Sub
Deleting a Menu Item Control on a Menu:
The following example deletes the Save menu item on the File menu:
Sub menuItem_Delete()
Dim myCmd as Object
Set myCmd = CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("File")
MyCmd.Controls("Save").Delete
End Sub
Restoring a Built-in Menu Item Control on a Menu:
To restore a menu item control, you must know the identification (ID)
number for the control. To determine the ID number, see the "Returning an
ID for a Command Bar Control" section.
The following example restores the Save menu item that you deleted in the
previous example:
Sub menuItem_Restore()
Dim myCmd as Object
Set myCmd = CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("File")
' Id 3 refers to the Save menu item control.
myCmd.Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, Id:= 3, Before:=5
End Sub
Submenus
--------
Submenus appear to the side of the parent menu when you click a menu item.
A menu item that is a submenu control has a small black arrow located at
the right end of the menu item name.
Adding a Submenu:
The following example adds a new submenu named NewSub to the Tools menu on
the Worksheet menu bar:
Sub SubMenu_Create()
Dim newSub as Object
Set newSub = CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("Tools")
With newSub
.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, Before:=1).Caption="NewSub"
End With
End Sub
Adding a Menu Item to a Submenu:
This example adds a new menu item named SubItem1 to the NewSub submenu, and
then runs the Code_SubItem1 macro when you click SubItem1:
Sub SubMenu_AddItem()
Dim newSubItem as Object
Set newSubItem = CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar") _
.Controls("Tools").Controls("NewSub")
With newSubItem
.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, Before:=1).Caption = _
"SubItem1"
.Controls("SubItem1").OnAction = "Code_SubItem1"
End With
End Sub
The following is the macro code that runs when you click SubItem1:
Sub Code_SubItem1()
MsgBox "you clicked SubItem1"
End Sub
Disabling a Menu Item Control on a Submenu:
Menu items that are disabled appear dimmed and are not available.
The following example disables the SubItem command that you created in the
previous example:
Sub SubMenu_DisableItem()
CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("Tools") _
.Controls("NewSub").Controls("SubItem1").Enabled = False
End Sub
NOTE: To enable the disabled control, set the Enabled property to True.
Deleting a Command on a Submenu:
The following example deletes the SubItem1 command that you created on the
NewSub submenu:
Sub SubMenu_DeleteItem()
CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("Tools") _
.Controls("NewSub").Controls("SubItem1").Delete
End Sub
Disabling a Submenu Control:
Submenus that are disabled appear dimmed and are not available.
The following example disables the NewSub submenu that you created on the
Tools menu:
Sub SubMenu_DisableSub()
CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("Tools") _
.Controls("NewSub").Enabled = False
End Sub
NOTE: To enable the disabled control, set the Enabled property to True.
Deleting a Submenu Control:
The following example deletes the NewSub submenu that you created on the
Tools menu:
Sub SubMenu_DeleteSub()
CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("Tools") _
.Controls("NewSub").Delete
End Sub
Shortcut Menu Bars
------------------
Shortcut menu bars appear when you use the right mouse button to click a
specific Microsoft Excel object. Microsoft Excel has many shortcut menu
bars for which a variety of menus are available. You can also create custom
shortcut menu bars and customize the built-in menu bars. The only
difference between shortcut menus and other menu bars is that when you
create the shortcut menu using the Add method, you must specify the
msoBarPopUp constant as the Position argument. Use the ShowPopup method to
display shortcut menus, as demonstrated in the previous examples. You can
assign event procedures for user actions, for example, to display a
shortcut menu in response to a right-click event.
The shortcut menu bars that are available in Microsoft Excel are as
follows:
&Wizard Document Query and Pivot
ActiveX Control Excel Control Query Layout
AutoCalculate Floor and Walls Rotate Mode
AutoFill Formula Bar Row
Built-in Menus Inactive Chart Series
Cell Layout Shapes
Chart Nondefault Drag and Drop System
Column Object/Plot Title Bar (Charting)
Connector OLE Object Trendline
Curve Pictures Context Menu WordArt Context Menu
Curve Node PivotTable Context Menu Workbook Tabs
Curve Segment Plot Area XLM Cell
Desktop Ply
Dialog Query
Creating a New Shortcut Menu Bar:
The following example creates a new shortcut menu bar called myShortcutBar:
Sub Shortcut_Create()
Dim myShtCtBar as Object
Set myShtCtBar = CommandBars.Add(Name:="myShortcutBar", _
Position:=msoBarPopup)
' This displays the shortcut menu bar.
' 200, 200 refers to the screen position in pixels as x and y
coordinates.
myShtCtBar.ShowPopup 200,200
End Sub
NOTE: The shortcut menu bar appears empty because no controls (menu items
or submenus) have been added to it yet.
The constant msoBarPopup is used in the Position argument to denote a
shortcut menu bar.
Shortcut Menus
--------------
Creating a Menu Item on a Shortcut Menu Bar:
The following example creates a new menu command named Item1 on the
shortcut menu bar named myShortcutBar and runs the Code_Item1 macro when
you click Item1:
Sub Shortcut_AddItem()
Dim myBar as Object
Set myBar = CommandBars("myShortcutBar")
With myBar
.Controls.Add (Type:=msoControlButton, before:=1).Caption = _
"Item1"
.Controls("Item1").OnAction = "Code_Item1"
End With
myBar.ShowPopup 200,200
End Sub
The following is the macro that runs when you click Item1 on myShortcutBar:
Sub Code_Item1()
MsgBox "you clicked Item1"
End Sub
Disabling a Menu Item Control on a Shortcut Menu Bar:
Menu items that are disabled appear dimmed and are not available.
The following example disables the Item1 command that you created in the
previous example:
Sub Shortcut_DisableItem()
Set myBar = CommandBars("myShortcutBar")
myBar.Controls("Item1").Enabled = False
myBar.ShowPopup 200,200
End Sub
NOTE: To enable the disabled item, set the Enabled property to True.
Deleting a Menu Item on a Shortcut Menu Bar:
The following example deletes the menu command named Item1 on
myShortcutBar:
Sub Shortcut_DeleteItem()
Set myBar = CommandBars("myShortcutBar")
myBar.Controls("Item1").Delete
myBar.ShowPopup 200,200
End Sub
Deleting a Shortcut Menu Bar:
Deleting the shortcut menu bar removes it and all of its items. You cannot
restore a deleted custom menu bar. To restore it, you must recreate it and
all of its menu items, submenus, and so on.
The following example deletes the shortcut menu myShortCutBar that you
created in a previous example:
Sub Shortcut_DeleteShortCutBar()
CommandBars("MyShortCutBar").Delete
End Sub
Restoring a Menu Item on Built-in Shortcut Menu Bar:
You can restore default menu items on built-in menu bars. However, you
cannot restore custom menu items. To restore a built-in menu control, you
must know the identification (ID) number for the control. To determine the
ID number, see the "Returning an ID for a Command Bar Control" section.
The following example restores the Cut command on the worksheet Cell
shortcut menu bar:
Sub Shortcut_RestoreItem()
' Id 21 refers to the Help menu control.
CommandBars("Cell").Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, Id:21,
Before:=1
End Sub
Submenus on Shortcut Menus
--------------------------
You can create submenus on shortcut menu bars. Submenus appear to the side
of the parent menu when you click a menu item control. A menu item that is
a submenu control has a small, black arrow located to the right of its
name.
Creating a New Submenu on a Shortcut Menu Bar:
The following example adds a new submenu named NewSub on the worksheet Cell
shortcut menu:
Sub ShortcutSub_Create()
CommandBars("Cell").Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, before:=1) _
.Caption = "NewSub"
' This displays the shortcut menu bar.
' 200, 200 refers to the screen position in pixels as x and y
' coordinates.
CommandBars("Cell").ShowPopup 200, 200
End Sub
NOTE: The submenu is empty because no menu items have been added to it yet.
Creating a Menu Item Control on a Submenu Located on a Shortcut Menu Bar:
The following macro adds the command subItem1 to the submenu NewSub that
you created on the Cell shortcut menu, and then runs the Code_subItem1
macro when you click subItem1:
Sub ShortcutSub_AddItem()
Dim newSubItem as Object
Set newSubItem = CommandBars("Cell").Controls("NewSub")
With newSubItem
.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, before:=1).Caption =
"subItem1"
' This will run the subItem1_Code macro when subItem1 is clicked.
.Controls("subItem1").OnAction = "Code_subItem1"
End With
' This displays the Cell shortcut menu bar.
' 200, 200 refers to the screen position in pixels as x and y
' coordinates
CommandBars("Cell").ShowPopup 200, 200
End Sub
The following is the macro that runs when you click subItem1:
Sub subItem1_Code()
MsgBox "you clicked subItem1"
End Sub
Disabling a Submenu Item Control on a Shortcut Menu
Menu items that are disabled appear dimmed and are not available.
The following example disables the command subItem1 on the NewSub submenu:
Sub ShortcutSub_DisableItem()
CommandBars("Cell").Controls("NewSub") _
.Controls("subItem1").Enabled = False
' This displays the Cell shortcut menu bar.
' 200, 200 refers to the screen position in pixels as x and y
' coordinates.
CommandBars("Cell").ShowPopup 200, 200
End Sub
NOTE: To enable a disabled item, set the Enabled property to True.
Deleting a Submenu Item Control on a Shortcut Menu:
The following example deletes the command subItem1 on the NewSub submenu:
Sub ShortcutSub_DeleteItem()
CommandBars("Cell").Controls("NewSub").Controls("subItem1").Delete
' This displays the Cell shortcut menu bar.
' 200, 200 refers to the screen position in pixels as x and y
' coordinates.
CommandBars("Cell").ShowPopup 200, 200
End Sub
Disabling a Submenu Control on a Shortcut Menu:
Menu items that are disabled appear dimmed and are not available.
The following example disables the NewSub submenu on the Cell shortcut menu
bar:
Sub ShortcutSub_DisableSub()
CommandBars("Cell").Controls("NewSub").Enabled = False
' This displays the Cell shortcut menu bar.
' 200, 200 refers to the screen position in pixels as x and y
' coordinates.
CommandBars("Cell").ShowPopup 200, 200
End Sub
NOTE: To enable a disabled item, set the Enabled property to True.
Deleting a Submenu Control on a Shortcut Menu:
Deleting the submenu removes it and all of its items. You cannot restore a
deleted custom submenu. To restore it, you must recreate it and all of its
menu items, submenus, and so on.
The following example deletes the NewSub submenu that you created on the
Cell shortcut menu bar:
Sub ShortcutSub_DeleteSub()
CommandBars("Cell").Controls("NewSub").Delete
' This displays the Cell shortcut menu bar.
' 200, 200 refers to the screen position in pixels as x and y
' coordinates.
CommandBars("Cell").ShowPopup 200, 200
