Custom Menus & "Begin a Group" option
With Excel 2000, we could use the "Begin a Group" command to put a separator
line between a couple of menu items, but in Excel 2003 it does not seem to work. It looks like the "color scheme" of Excel 2003 "hides" the intended effect. How do I successfully employ the "Begin a Group" command in Excel 2003? Thanks in advance. |

Just set the BeginGroup property to True.

Sorry, I did not make my question totally clear. So let me clarify. I am
talking about a manual process, and not an automated process: When in Excel, I open the Customize dialog box, then I attempt to modify an existing toolbar. I can right-click on a button or menu item in my custom toolbar, and select Begin a Group from the context menu, but I do not see any change. In Excel 2000 doing this same action would put a grey line above the button or menu item that was right-clicked. That is not happening in Excel 2003. Thanks.

If you layout your toolbar right to left--not top to bottom, then the begingroup
is easier to see. With the prettiness of the dropdowns in the newer versions of excel, maybe it's just the builtin shading that's hiding the begingroup line.

You are right, I can see the begin group line when the toolbar layout is
right to left. However I would like to go top to bottom. I guess Microsoft has "fixed" it. So unless the begin group line color can be changed, a work-around will be to use a menu item with a string of the "_" character, and the assigned macro simply being an empty shell of a procedure. Do you have any other suggestions? How do we tell Microsoft to "fix this again"? Thanks again. TTFN JMMach "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...
