Default Disable the toolbar options button

Ron,

Thanks for the useful information, good info!

But;

I couldn't get quite what I was looking for;

I couldn't find any reference to the "Toolbar Options" button, It displays
on every toolbar (custom or regular) in excel 2003. (Other versions might as
well, I don't know). It's not a button with a faceID, it's a very narrow
button on the far right of every toolbar. When you click on it it will show a
drop down (sub)menu with " add or remove buttons" when you hoover this
(sub)menu the list with available toolbars will unfold (grayed out because I
disabled that), follow at the bottom with a option to "Customize". This
button i would like to disable / delete / whatever.... as long as the user
can't use it.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Paul

Disable right clicking on the worksheet menu bar and other bars in 97 SR1 and above.

On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("Toolbar List").Enabled = False
On Error GoTo 0

This prevents users double-clicking on the Toolbar area to open the
(Customize Toolbars) dialog in Excel 2002 and above.
Application.CommandBars.DisableCustomize = True

If you want to remove Type a question for Help on the Worksheet Menu Bar you
can use this in Excel 2002 and above. True = hidden and False = visible
Application.CommandBars.DisableAskAQuestionDropdow n = True

You can use this to avoid the error in Excel 2000

If Val(Application.Version) 9 Then
CallByName CommandBars, "DisableCustomize", VbLet, True
CallByName CommandBars, "DisableAskAQuestionDropdown", VbLet, True
End If

Hi,

I'm using Excel 2003.

I've created a custom toolbar for use in a certain document. This is the
only toolbar I would like the user to have access to. Therefore I've disabled
al other toolbars and disbled the "toolbar list". The only thing I can't
disable is the little toolbar option button (with a little down arrow in it)
on the right side of the custom toolbar.

Is there a way to disable this little button?

Cheers,

Paul.
