Could anyone suggest a good reference, or show an example,
of how to enable a right-click shortcut menu with things
like copy/paste, for a textbox in a userform?


Thanks.

Mark,

Here is a technique posted by John Green last year

A short cut menu can be created as a popup commandbar. The menu can be
activated from the MouseUp event of the textbox.

You can create a popup menu using code like the following in a standard
module.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub MakePopUp()
'Remove any old instance of MyPopUp
On Error Resume Next
CommandBars("MyPopUp").Delete
On Error GoTo 0

With CommandBars.Add(Name:="MyPopUp", Position:=msoBarPopup)
With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
.OnAction = "ShowDataForm"
.FaceId = 264
.Caption = "Data Form"
End With
With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
.OnAction = "Sort"
.FaceId = 210
.Caption = "Sort Ascending"
End With
End With
End Sub

Sub ShowDataForm()
MsgBox "DataForm"
End Sub

Sub Sort()
MsgBox "Sort"
End Sub
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In your userform code module choose the Textbox from the top left dropdown
and the MouseUp event from the top right dropdown and insert something like
the following code:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub TextBox1_MouseUp(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As
Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
If Button = 2 Then
Application.CommandBars("MyPopUp").ShowPopup
End If
End Sub
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks... I just did that, and see what you are doing.

Is there a list of the face ID constants?

If not, I can just find them through testing.

Hi, anyone know how to add SORT in the short cut menu when you right-click?

If you just want to sort on a single column
select a cell in that column, then Ctrl+A (need a macro if Excel 2003),
then use the sort button (ascending or descending)
but you can never be completely sure if Excel will assume headers or not.

More specific to your question:

Record a macro and insert it into Right Click Event envelope

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target _
As Excel.Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True 'to get out of edit mode
Dim LRow As Long '-- SORT on Col E then A
'Find row before last row in Column A with content
LRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(-1, 0).Row
Rows("2:" & LRow).Sort Key1:=Range("E2"), _
Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=Range("A2"), _
Order2:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, _
Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
End Sub

Macroq,

Try the following code:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Option Explicit
Dim CT As CommandBarControl
Sub Add_SortMenu()
With Application.CommandBars("Cell")
.Enabled = True
For Each CT In .Controls
If CT.ID = 928 Then CT.Delete
Next
.Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, ID:=928
End With
End Sub

Sub Del_SortMenu()
With Application.CommandBars("Cell")
For Each CT In .Controls
If CT.ID = 928 Then CT.Delete
Next
End With
End Sub
