If you know the id or caption, you make them non-visible, e.g

Application.commandbars("Formatting").Controls("Bo ld").visible=false

Hi,

I have a small app. with a custom menu bar, which contains its own
controls
for saving, closing etc.
Is it possible to remove/hide the built in control icons on the RH side ?

regards,
Don
