While I like to work with button faces for my popup menus, I feel I
spend too much time finding the right buttonface that fits my function.
I admit I may be a bit piclexic.

Does someone know if there is a table with a wordy description of all
built-in buttonfaces? For example: I type in clock and the table
returns me FaceId 33. I have been looking for some time, but could not
find it.

I am not aware of any descriptive listing of Face Id's.
As there are several thousand of them, categorizing them
would be a tremendous effort requiring more art than science.

There are several different Excel add-ins available that provide a
visual display all of the FaceID's. Take a look at this post...

I am particularly fond of the one from yours truly.
(remove xxx from my email address and email me asking for it)
Also, the code posted by RB Smissaert is worth trying.

I agree that the effort is tremendous for one man, but I still hoped
that someone had the courage to do it.

We could set up a website and split the job, but first we need to be
certain that it is not already done.

Jim did it already. In fact, Jim's link shows a couple of options.

Hi Dave,

The example you refer to is doing the same as the code I wrote myself
Although it's much better code (great code actually!), it is not giving
me descriptions of what the icons are showing. What I was suggesting is
to set up a very simple site, e.g. in PHP, where people can pick up a
few ButtonFaces and fill in descriptions for them until all faces are
ready and we have a complete list that can be shared, but Jim's code
returned 7000+ buttons, so I'm a little discouraged, plus the fact that
not everybody has the same set of ButtonFaces in their excel (and maybe
I'm the only one that really wants them, but that's why I brought it up
in the first place).

Kind regards,
