Hi all,
i have the following code that creates my custom toolbar.
I would like to add some standard toolbar buttons to it, but am having
problems,
The buttons i want to add are:
Save
Print Preview
Print
Zoom
Center
Borders
Fill Color
Font Color
I tried to record a macro adding the buttons i wanted, but it gave me code
like:
Application.CommandBars("Custom Popup 942187").Controls.Add
Type:=msoControlSplitButtonPopup, ID:=401, before:=1
and this never worked when the code was run again - i'm thinking that
"Custom Popup 942187" is a temporary ID for the target menu.
I was thinking I could add these buttons to the "Workbook Tools" menu in the
With MenuItm
If Arr0(i) = "Wor&kbook Tools" Then
'.Type = Arr2(i)(j)
'.ID = Arr4(i)(j)
'.Style = Arr2(i)(j)
.FaceId = Arr4(i)(j)
Else
section - however when i try to set the .type and .id, i get a 'cannot set a
read only property' error.
any thoughts?
