Create toolbar
 

Hi,

I use the following code to create a toolbar:

Sub CreateMenubar()

Dim iCtr As Long

Dim MacNames As Variant
Dim CapNamess As Variant
Dim TipText As Variant

Call RemoveMenubar

MacNames = Array("Line", _
"Column", _
"Pie", _
"LineColumn1", _
"LineColumn2", _
"Scatter", _
"StackedColumn")

CapNamess = Array("Line", _
"Column", _
"Pie", _
"LineColumn1", _
"LineColumn2", _
"Scatter", _
"StackedColumn")
TipText = Array("Line chart", _
"Column chart", _
"Pie chart", _
"Line/column 1 axis", _
"Line/column 2 axis", _
"Scatter chart", _
"Stacked column chart")
With Application.CommandBars.Add
.Name = ToolBarName
.Left = 200
.Top = 200
.Protection = msoBarNoProtection
.Visible = True
.Position = msoBarFloating

For iCtr = LBound(MacNames) To UBound(MacNames)
With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
.OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & MacNames(iCtr)
.Caption = CapNamess(iCtr)
.Style = msoButtonIconAndCaption
.FaceId = 71 + iCtr
.TooltipText = TipText(iCtr)
End With
Next iCtr
End With
End Sub

This code creates a toolbar with 7 buttons that control other macros.
I see now that I will need more buttons, up to 25 or 30 and I would
like to group them under menus on the toolbar, such as "Lines",
"Columns" etc. Is there an easy way to adjust the current code to
accomodate this?

Create toolbar
 

The first example on this page shows how to group commandbar items into
submenus on the commandbar.
