I have a user defined menu. Most of the main options have sub-options. I
want to make the caption of one of the sub-options dynamic so that it
changes based on a value. In this case I need to toggle EnableEvents on and
off. The sub-menu option of "Utilities" is "Events Enabled" (or "Events
Disabled").

I already have a macro to enable/disable the Events. What I need now is a
way to dynamically change the caption on the sub-menu. so that it reads
"Events Enabled" or "Events Disabled" as the case may be.

Is that possible?

Glen

Glen,

Application.Commandbars("Worksheet Menu
Bar").Controls("Utilities").Controls("Events Enabled").Caption ="Events
Disabled")

This is assuming the menu is on the Worksheet Menu Bar, not hanging off of
one of the controls.

You should be able to deduce the rest

Bob,
Thanks for the input. I noodled it a different way. Here is what I did:
In the "create menu" code, I have:
With .Add(msoControlButton)
.Caption = "Events Enabled"
.OnAction = "EventsEnableToggle"
End With

Sub EventsEnableToggle()
If Application.EnableEvents = False Then
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.CommandBars.ActionControl.Caption = "Events Enabled"
Else
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.CommandBars.ActionControl.Caption = "Events Disabled"
End If

End Sub

This menu option is only visible to the developer and it works just fine.

Thanks again,

Glen
