upon opening a file I included some code to add a commandbar to excel. At this stage, I load an external image to display as button.

Question: how can I include those (10) small bitmaps inside the workbook so I don't need external files (looks messy

(I've tried to include them as pictures and then load from there, but can get it to work

Thanks in advanc

Hi,

This will put a picture from a sheet to a commandbar
control. You'll have to create a sheet named "Pictures"
and a image called "Pic_1" to run this example.

Dim CBCtrl As CommandBarControl

Set CBCtrl = CBPopUp.CommandBar.Controls.Add
(msoControlButton)

ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Pictures").Activate

ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Pictures").Shapes
("Pic_1").Select

Selection.Copy
CBCtrl.PasteFace

Hope this helped.

Yes, Thanks it helped

However
1. is there a similar way to set the mask of a button
2. why is this PasteFace method hidden and undocumpented? Is there a way to find out more about hidden functions
3. In terms of compatibility, is it wise to use hidden functions
