Options for replacing toolbars in XL 2007
In the past I have used custom toolbars (lots of them) because then users
could use the tools on the custom toolbars in any workbook they are currently in. In XL 2007, as I understand it, one cannot create a new toolbar. What should I look at to replace this functionality? Add a tab to the Ribbon? If so, will changes to the Ribbon stay with the application or are they workbook specific? Are there other options/suggestions? Thanks much in advance for your assistance/guidance. |

Hi Ron,
I'm sorry, I don't see your reply about the "Add-Ins"; but I did find that if I only modify two or three specifically named popup menus, then the "Add-ins" tab does not appear...

Here it is
If I use this two testers the problem is only this menu that create the add-in tab "PivotChart Menu If I check for it no add-ins tab will be created Do you see the same results ? Note : From Jon Peltier in a older thread It appears in those popups that relate to the worksheet (such as Cell, Row, Column, etc.) but not in those relating to shapes or charts, and that is where these enhanced popups are most needed. Sub AddPopup() Dim cb As CommandBar Dim ctl As CommandBarButton Dim I As Integer For Each cb In Application.CommandBars If cb.Type = msoBarTypePopup And cb.BuiltIn And cb.Name < "PivotChart Menu" Then I = I + 1 cb.Reset Set ctl = cb.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton) ctl.Caption = "MyMenu " & cb.Name ctl.FaceId = 80 ctl.Visible = True Debug.Print cb.Name End If Next MsgBox I End Sub Sub ResetPopup() Dim cb As CommandBar Dim ctl As CommandBarButton Dim I As Integer For Each cb In Application.CommandBars If cb.Type = msoBarTypePopup And cb.BuiltIn Then I = I + 1 cb.Reset End If Next MsgBox I End Sub -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "XP" wrote in message ...

Okay, yes, I installed your code and it runs perfectly. No "Add-Ins" tab
created, but the menu appears in the popup; nice approach. If you don't mind, I'll adapt to my purposes... I wonder what the hangup is on the "PivotChart" menu...? Thanks again.

At ToolbarToggle, we have created an add-in for Word, Excel and PowerPoint that brings back the original Office 2003 menus and toolbars into Office 2007 for less than $20. Besides being able to customize and add unlimited toolbars and menu items, ToolbarToggle allows the old style floating and docking anywhere. Through a key press, you can turn the Ribbon on or off, turn the commandbars and menus on or off as well REPLACE the Ribbon entirely. ToolbarToggle even accepts shortcut keys (Alt+F, Alt+E, etc..). Please try the demo let us know if you feel this helps solve your problems. You can download ToolbarToggle from: http://www.toolbartoggle.com |
