Hola Folks,

environment:
- Excel 2003, VBA, Add-In (XLA)

I have added several menuitems to the Excel menu during the
registration of an add-in. Is there a way to handle onclick events for
the menu items I have added?

Right now, each one of the menu items has a different onaction
subroutine that stores an ID specifying which button was clicked in a
global variable.

In the end, I'd like to hook all of the onclick events for the menu
items that I have added through a single function. Even if they all
have the same function set in their onAction properties, it doesn't
look like I have a method of determining which of the menu items was
clicked.
I'd like to be able to get a handle to the control / menu item and
evaluate whatever is stored in the tag property. The only way I know of
to do this is kludgy and most importantly, doesn't seem to work as
expected across sessions.

I hope this is clear enough to make sense because I'm very tired and
probably not communicating effectively.

On each menu item, set the Parameter or Tag properies separately, and then
test them in the macro like so

With CommandBars.ActionControl
Select Case .Tag
Case "Val1": 'some actione
Case "Val2": 'some other action
Case Else: 'default action
End Select
End With

Hello Bob,

Thanx Bunches! The ActionControl Property did the trick.
