How do you .DELETE a (sub-menu) Control that was clicked?
 

In a nutshell, when I click on the menu sub-item "Exit Admin Mode" all the
sub-items are deleted EXCEPT the "Exit Admin Mode" sub-item. If I step
through the BuildMoreMenus() routine it WILL delete all sub-items if they are
present, including the "Exit Admin Mode" sub-item. Very odd. How can I have
that sub-item deleted when I click it?

Here's the code that creates and deletes the Help menu sub-items:

Why not create the menu in the workbook_open event and delete the
menu in the workbook_close event? Problem would be solved.
-or-
You could add a button from the Forms toolbar to the sheet at the same time that
you create the menu. The button could delete itself after removing the sub-menus.
I use that technique in my "List Files" add-in.

I already do that and that's not what I'm asking about.

When I click on the menu sub-item "Exit Admin Mode" all the sub-items are
deleted EXCEPT the "Exit Admin Mode" sub-item. I still am in the workbook
and still using it, the Admin Mode can be toggled on or off during the use of
the workbook. How can I have that sub-item deleted ("Exit Admin Mode") *when
it is clicked*?

Code:

Private Sub BuildMoreMenus()
Dim NewItem As CommandBarButton, cbItem As CommandBarPopup

Call DeleteMoreMenus
Set cbItem = Application.CommandBars(1).FindControl(ID:=DATA_MENU_ID)
If cbItem Is Nothing Then
    MsgBox "Cannot add menu item."
    Exit Sub
Else
    Set NewItem = cbItem.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
    With NewItem
        .FaceId = 1826

        .BeginGroup = False
    End With
End If
Application.CommandBars(1).FindControl(ID:=HELP_MENU_ID).Tag = "ON"
End Sub

Public Function ExitAdmin()
'Return workbook to user mode.

Call DeleteMoreMenus
End Function

Public Function DeleteMoreMenus()
'Remove the items from main menu.
   
On Error Resume Next
With Application.CommandBars(1).FindControl(ID:=HELP_MENU_ID)
    .Controls("Show All Sheets").Delete
    .Controls("Hide All Sheets").Delete
    .Controls("Exit Admin Mode").Delete  'Doesn't work here.  Because it's
selected???
    .Tag = "OFF"
End With
End Function
