After interactively adding a menu item (tools/customize/commands/new menu) to
the excel toolbar is the code available to edit? I've created a layered menu
but I can't seem to find the resulting code.

hi
custom menu item and custom icons have macros assigned to them.
the code should be in the vb editor somewhere. Alt+F11.

That's what I thought but I'm not seeing the resulting code. I don't know if
its hidden or specifically not made available. I can certainly write VB to
produce the menu but I would get a jump start if this code was available.

I think it's better to do all the work in code.

For additions to the worksheet menu bar, I really like the way John Walkenbach
does it in his menumaker workbook:

Here's how I do it when I want a toolbar:

And if you use xl2007:

or

In xl2007, those toolbars and menu modifications will show up under the addins.

Thanks Dave. I suppose I can't cut corners by using the code generated while
I did the interactive version. Your links were helpful.

Maybe or maybe not.

Depends on what that code was.
