Sub menuing

Guest

I have added a "NewMenuItem" to the main commandbar. Below that I have added
two SubMenuItems with no assigned OnAction events.

Set Item = CommandBars(1).Controls("NewMenuItem").Controls.Add
Item.Caption = "&SubItem1"
Item.BeginGroup = False

Set Item = CommandBars(1).Controls("NewMenuItem").Controls.Add
Item.Caption = "&SubItem2"
Item.BeginGroup = False

What I want to do is be able to select the "SubItem1" and create multiple
menu items below it.

Thanks.

You want to do this in the same code that creates the SubItems or do you want
code to run when you select the created subitem?

Sub ABC()
Dim Menu1 As CommandBarPopup
Dim Item1 As CommandBarPopup
Dim Item2 As CommandBarPopup
Dim Item1Sub1 As CommandBarButton
Dim Item1Sub2 As CommandBarButton
Dim Item2Sub1 As CommandBarButton
Dim Item2Sub2 As CommandBarButton

On Error Resume Next
CommandBars(1).Controls("NewMenuItem").Delete
On Error GoTo 0
Set Menu1 = CommandBars(1).Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
Menu1.Caption = "NewMenuItem"
Set Item1 = CommandBars(1).Controls("NewMenuItem" _
).Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
Item1.Caption = "&SubItem1"
Item1.BeginGroup = False

Set Item2 = CommandBars(1).Controls("NewMenuItem" _
).Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
Item2.Caption = "&SubItem2"
Item2.BeginGroup = False
Set Item1Sub1 = Item1.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
Set Item1Sub2 = Item1.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
Set Item2Sub1 = Item2.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
Set Item2Sub2 = Item2.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
Item1Sub1.Caption = "Item1Sub1"
Item1Sub2.Caption = "Item1Sub2"
Item2Sub1.Caption = "Item2Sub1"
Item2Sub2.Caption = "Item2Sub2"

End Sub

I just set the caption attributes, but you can add other attributes/onaction.
