Default Workbook Menu screen tips?

Hi,

When you hover over a toolbar button a screen tip (yellow box that appears
when you hover over a command button) is visible.

Is it possible to get this to happen on custom worksheet menus?

Can you get something to appear on the status bar when you hover over the
menu item?

Any comments will be appreciated.

Sean

Hi Sean

If you create the button with code you can use the Caption

With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
.Caption = "Delete the ToolBar"
.FaceId = 72
.OnAction = "DeleteToolBar"
End With

Thanks Ron,

I am trying to find out if there is a similar thing for a Menu item, not a
button.

Ron,

Thanks again, but these are all for toolbars and not menu's. Is there a
similar command for menus?

Hi Hi Sean

It is working if you add a new menubar but not for a menu item you add to a original menu
Never try this. When I have time I see if it is possible.

Sub MakeMenuBar()
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("MyMenuBar").Delete
On Error GoTo 0

With Application.CommandBars.Add(Name:="myMenuBar", Position:=msoBarTop, _
MenuBar:=True)

With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
.Caption = "Click me"
.TooltipText = "your text 1"
.OnAction = "MenuBarMacro"
End With
With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
.BeginGroup = True
.Caption = "Delete the MenuBar"
.TooltipText = "your text 2"
.OnAction = "DeleteMenuBar"
End With

.Visible = True
End With
End Sub


Sub MenuBarMacro()
MsgBox "Hi"
End Sub


Sub DeleteMenuBar()
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("MyMenuBar").Delete
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
