attach custom toolbar to spreadsheet: how?
Hello,
For a client I have made some macro's to speed up things in a spreadsheet. I have created a custom toolbar, and attached the macro's to newly created buttons. Then I attached the toolbar to the spreadsheet. However, If I open the spreadsheet on another workstation for the first time, the toolbar is opened, but no button is defined on it. I have also troubles to get my macro's starting on the workbook. So my question is: -how can I create a custom toolbar that is attached to a certain spreadsheet -the toolbar should be opened automatically when the spreadsheet is opened -the toolbar should be deleted if the spreadsheet is closed (toolbar commands are NOT available to other spreadsheets) Is this possible? How? thanx in advance, bart plessers -- HyperART Paul Van Ostaijenlaan 4 3001 Heverlee |

attach custom toolbar to spreadsheet: how?
Toolbars are application level. So there is no built in capability to have
them available only when a specific workbook is active. You would need to write code using the workbook Activate and Deactivate events to show and hide the toolbar. If you are going to do that, you might as well manage the toolbar with code - creating it when the workbook is opened and deleting it when the workbook is closed. Here is a general list of Knowledge base articles and others related to working with commandbars in code. I also included an article on attaching if you want to know more about that. ------------------------- Here is an article which talks about attaching toolbars: http://www.microsoft.com/exceldev/articles/toolbatt.htm Here is an article about creating commandbars with code: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/techart/ofcmdbar.htm Here is another article or two you might find useful: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ba...n_addins97.htm http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/of...exceladdin.htm http://www.microsoft.com/exceldev/tips/addins.htm These are about distributing applications http://support.microsoft.com/?id=159619 XL97: Sample Macros for Customizing Menus and Submenus http://support.microsoft.com/?id=213550 XL2000: Sample Macros for Customizing Menus and Submenus http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;166755 File Title: Customizing Menu Bars, Menus, and Menu Items in Microsoft(R) Excel 97 File Name: WE1183.EXE File Size: 58041 bytes File Date: 06/20/97 Keywords: kbfile kbappnote Description: This Application Note can help you learn techniques for writing Visual Basic(R) for Applications code to customize menus in Microsoft Excel 97.

attach custom toolbar to spreadsheet: how?
Just one more question:
do you know how to position the toolbar? I recreate the toolbar everytime the workbook is opened with Auto_Open and delete the toolbar with Auto_Close when the workbook is closed (are there better ways to achieve this? I want to have the macro's invisible to the user...) When the toolbar is create, it appears 'somewhere' on the screen. Can I position it somewhere by use of macro? Can I have it docked to the main menu bar? thanx in advance regards, bart -- HyperART Paul Van Ostaijenlaan 4 3001 Heverlee "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ... Toolbars are application level.

attach custom toolbar to spreadsheet: how?
The commandbar control has top and left properties. Here is an extract from
the help on the top property for a commandbar CommandBar or CommandBarControl object: Returns or sets the distance (in pixels) from the top edge of the specified command bar or command bar control to the top edge of the screen. For docked command bars, this property returns or sets the distance from the command bar to the top of the docking area. Read/write Long for CommandBar, read-only Long for CommandBarControl. I don't think you can dock on the same row as the Worksheet Menu Bar, but you can dock the commandbar on the next row. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Bart Plessers (artabel)" wrote in message ...
