It appears that the A2003
Shortcut Menus and Toolbars cannot be created or edited in A2007. I have
posted a question on this before, but, perhaps because A2007 is till new,
no
response.
You can't change them via the ui. I am a big fan of menu bars, but I
*always* used the GUI to build those menus.
A good number of people actually used code to build those menu bars:
I don't think you can "add" new command bars, but you can certainly
manipulate existing ones via code.
The problem is that when you display a "old" menu bar it appears in the
"add-ins" tab.
So, you can for example "display" a particular menu bar (or specify it in
the forms other tab like you always did)
eg:
commandbars("name of menu bar").Visible = true
When you run the above code, the menu bar will appear, but, it appears in
the "add-ins" tab.
So, presumably, you could/would use the add-ins tab, and display your custom
ribbon items on that also (that would be a easy way to hide the rest of the
interface).
And, you can still specify a shortcut menu (right click) for a form. I not
tired adding to existing menu bars via code
but, I have to assume that shortcut menu bars can be added via code.
Are you able to shed some light on this? i.e. Can we create shortcut menus
(Rt Click) in A2007?
You should be able to, but you can' use the GUI to do this.
Can one create a custom Quick Access Toolbar or at least
disable the default toolbar.
I assume so. I know you can't turn off the office button, but you can
customize it as you please...
I not yet built something that hides the 07 interface, but hope to post a
example soon...
