Center Toolbar
When my workbook opens, I make all commandbars invisible except the
standard menubar and the workbook's custom toolbar. I have the custom toolbar in the right place vertically (just below the menubar). How do I center it horizontally? TIA, James |

Hi James,
When my workbook opens, I make all commandbars invisible except the standard menubar and the workbook's custom toolbar. I have the custom toolbar in the right place vertically (just below the menubar). How do I center it horizontally? TIA, James for centering a toolbar: Sub TestCenter() Dim x As Long Dim v As Long v = Application.CommandBars("formatting").Width x = System.HorizontalResolution Application.CommandBars("formatting").Left = x / 2 - v / 2 End Sub Though occasionally, System.HorizontalResolution tells me, that an ActiveX object could not be created. Why? I don't know. -- Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP WordVBA Win XP, Office 2003 "red.sys" & Chr$(64) & "t-online.de" |

Hi James,
there must be a bug in it. I got the same message a few times, then it disappeared. I never get it in Word. If the macro is just for you, you may try it with 1024 or 1200 or whatever. And it applies to a maximized window. -- Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP WordVBA Win XP, Office 2003 "red.sys" & Chr$(64) & "t-online.de" |

Helmut, this works fine:
Sub TestCenterJ() Dim WideScr As Variant Dim x As Long Dim v As Long v = Application.CommandBars("formatting").Width WideScr = MsgBox("Wide screen?", vbYesNo) If WideScr = vbYes Then x = 1325 Else x = 1024 End If Application.CommandBars("formatting").Left = x / 2 - v / 2 End Sub Of course, the problem is the program should be able to automatically gather this screen horiz center information. Since your System.HorizontalResolution won't work for me (Excel 2002), I'm at a loss. Having to ask the user for this info is really embarrassing!

Helmut, The msgbox displays 1280 on my wide-screen laptop. Would you
happen to know whether this is pixels or points?

That will be pixels.
Your screen must have a resolution of 1280x800. Darren On Sat, 31 Mar 2007 22:06:38 +0100, Zone wrote: Helmut, The msgbox displays 1280 on my wide-screen laptop.

Is there a way to convert pixels into points? Many thanks, James

Hi James,
there is more than one bug in this in Excel: Sub x() ' MsgBox PixelsToPoints(1280) ' error error error ' works perfectly in Word ' or MsgBox 1280 / 96 * 72 '! End Sub -- Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP WordVBA Win XP, Office 2003 "red.sys" & Chr$(64) & "t-online.de" |

James, Centering under the menu bar on my system looks about right... Sub MakeItHappen() Dim lngPlace As Long lngPlace = Application.CommandBars(1).Width / 2 Application.CommandBars("MyCustomBar").Left = _ lngPlace - (Application.CommandBars("MyCustomBar").Width / 2) End Sub -- Jim Cone San Francisco, USA http://www.realezsites.com/bus/primitivesoftware "Zone" wrote in message Guess it's time for me to figure out another strategy.

Thanks, Jim. Looks pretty good. It is a bit too far to the right on
the widescreen laptop. Who knew just centering a toolbar would be so difficult? I'll probably go with this solution since at least the toolbar will always land in the same place, and, in addition to centering it, I want to be able to show userforms approximately centered over the icon that calls them.
