Hi,

Not so sure about right-click, but Office CommandBar controls (2k3) do have
..HelpFile and .HelpContextId properties that can be set. Look these up in the
Excel VBA help - where it also says that "Help topics respond to Shift+F1".

So maybe something like ...

With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
.Caption = "Open report (F3 OR O from the treeview)"
.OnAction = "OpenReport"
.FaceId = 23
.HelpFile = "C:\...\myHelpFile.hlp" ' Full path to your compiled help
file.
.HelpContextID = 69
' The topic ID number that has been correctly mapped to a topic in your
compiled help file.
End With

Don't know if this also works with HtmlHelp compiled help files (*.chm) or
not - I'm having my own set of problems with text-popup context-sensitive
help (see my other post) from HtmlHelp.

Trust this helps and let me know how you get on.

Cheers, Sean.

Would it somehow be possible to trigger an event on right-clicking a
commandbar button?

These buttons are created like this:

Public cb2 As CommandBar

Set cb2 = CommandBars.Add("MyOptionsPopUp", _
msoBarPopup, _
MenuBar:=False, _
temporary:=True)

With cb2
Set FileControl = .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
With FileControl
.Caption = "File"
With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
.Caption = "Open report (F3 OR O from the treeview)"
.OnAction = "OpenReport"
.FaceId = 23
End With

etc.


The purpose is to trigger context sensitive help on the menu.
