Hi I use the code below to create a popup menu that shows unhidden tabs in a
workbook so that you can navigate to them quickly.


Option Explicit
'to create index popup on menu when you right mouse click on screen
Sub IndexCode()
Application.CommandBars("workbook Tabs").ShowPopup
End Sub

Is it possible to modify so that it lists certain tab names only, which then
if clicked have sub menus ie

on a right mouse click and then clicking sheet index I see tab names

Car
Bed
House

Then on clicking one of the items I see

Car
Car 1
Car 2
Car 3

Hope that makes sense.

Not unless you build your own custom popup menu.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the links

I have managed to get half way, that is I have a menu called "MyMenu" added
to the menu bar. On clicking this I have a sub menu heading of Apple which
leads to sub sub menu headings of "Apple1 and Apple2" When these are clicked
the macros run and take me to the page required.

'Adds a new menu to menu bar
cbcCutomMenu.Caption = "My Menu"

Set cbcCutomMenu = cbcCutomMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
cbcCutomMenu.Caption = "Apple"

With cbcCutomMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
.Caption = "Apple1"
.OnAction = "Gotoapple1"
End With
With cbcCutomMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
.Caption = "Apple2"
.OnAction = "Gotoapple2"
End With
End Sub

This runs and works without any problems, so I haven't shown all the other
elements of the code.

Ok what I'm stuck on is I want to have in the "my menu" the sub menu Apple
and another sub menu called orange, I then want the orange to have sub sub
menus of "Orange1 and Orange2" just like I have done for Apple.

I have tried a few ways but cant get this right, so any help would be so
welcomed.

Thanks

Hi Tom,

Works a treat, as simple as it is I would have never got that, thank you so
much.

I was thinking is there a way to make the sub menu's ie "Apple" Enabled True
and False Dependant on a command check box which is located on
Sheets("Opening Cover")

Thanks again for the help, that custom menu works a treat.

Hi Tom,

I tried the code amendment but I get an error on the if statement, I have
checked the code but cant see the wood for the tree's from staring too long!

I then tried some amendments and ended on;

If Sheets("Opening Cover").CheckBox1.Value = False Then
cbcCutomMenu1.Enabled = False
End if

If I run the excel program after saving with checkbox 1 unchecked, the Apple
is not enabled.
If I run the excel program after saving with checkbox 1 checked, the apple
is enabled.

I cant though get this function to work when checking/un-checking the
checkbox in the open workbook.

Yep I'm stuck yet again, any thoughts appreciated!

Hi Tom,

I figured it out, I got checkbox1 to run macro "addmenus" everytime its
checked or unchecked.

Thanks for the help with this, its really been appreciated.

There was a typo

if Worksheets("Opening Cover").OleObject("CheckBox1").Object.Value then
cbcCutomMenu1.Enabled = False
End if


should have been

if Worksheets("Opening Cover").OleObjects("CheckBox1").Object.Value then
cbcCutomMenu1.Enabled = False
End if

Yes, you will need alter the menu based on the click event of the checkbox.
You don't necessarily need to rerun addmenus, you could just set the enable
property of the control to false. you would have to address it like

CommandBars("Something").Controls("MyMenu").Enable d = False ' or true

"Something" would be the name of the commandbar on which it is located.
