Buttons in Toolbars
 

Hello!
Is it possible to make own Buttons in Toolbars (which then will run my
VBA-code) so that they will be displayed only if I open a certain workbook
(I don't want buttons that will be displayed always when using Excel - only
when I am using that certain workbook)? If it is possible, could someone
help me and say how?

Thanks very much!

BR,
Tommi

Buttons in Toolbars
 

Hi Tommi,

Yes,
Via menu : View/toolbar/customise
In the toobars page, Click new & give it a name.
In the "commands"page, choose Macros (categories) and select a custom
button.
for each button you can assign a macro.
When finished, go back to the toolbar page and choose "attach" (to attach
that toolbar to that particular workbook.
In the VBA project, slect the workbook object "Thisworkbook "and add some
event sub such as

Private Sub Workbook_WindowActivate(ByVal Wn As Excel.Window)
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("your toolbar name").Visible = True
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_WindowDeactivate(ByVal Wn As Excel.Window)
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("your toolbar name").Visible = False
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("your toolbar name").Delete
End Sub

Regards,

Jean-Yves
