How do I add a new menu after the Help menu?

I can add to other menus but my attempts thus far at creating my own menu have been fruitless.

Hi,

Do you mean through code?


Sub AddMenu()
Dim ComPop As CommandBarPopup
Dim Combut As CommandBarButton
Set ComPop = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls.Add(msoControlPopup)
ComPop.Caption = "My New Menu"
Set Combut = ComPop.Controls.Add(msoControlButton)
Combut.Style = msoButtonCaption
Combut.Caption = "Button 1"
Combut.OnAction = "MyMacro"
Set Combut = ComPop.Controls.Add(msoControlButton)
Combut.Style = msoButtonCaption
Combut.Caption = "Button 2"
Combut.OnAction = "MyMacro"
End Sub

Sub MyMacro()
MsgBox "You pressed " & Application.CommandBars.ActionControl.Caption
End Sub

Hi SJ,

See if this helps:


Const strMenuName As String = "&My Menu"
Const strCap1 As String = "Cap1"
Const strSub1 As String = "Sub1"

Sub AddToWorksheetMB()
Dim cbWMB As CommandBar
Dim cbctrlCustom As CommandBarControl
Dim HelpMenu As CommandBarControl
DeleteFromWMB
Set cbWMB = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")
On Error Resume Next
Set HelpMenu = CommandBars(1).FindControl(Id:=30010)
On Error GoTo 0
If HelpMenu Is Nothing Then
Set cbctrlCustom = cbWMB.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
'Help doesn't exist so add to the end
Else
Set cbctrlCustom = cbWMB.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, before:=HelpMenu.Index + 1)
'Add after Help
End If
With cbctrlCustom
.Caption = strMenuName
With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
.Caption = strCap1
.OnAction = strSub1
End With
'add a menu item
End With
End Sub

Sub DeleteFromWMB()
Dim cbWMB As CommandBar
Set cbWMB = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")
On Error Resume Next
cbWMB.Controls(strMenuName).Delete
End Sub

Sub Sub1()
MsgBox "Hello"
End Sub

Any problems - let me know. ;)

Incidentally, how would you add a child menu?
And delete the thing?

Hi SJ,

OK, version2 adds a pop-up menu too. (The deletion routine was already in the original - "DeleteFromWMB"). Is this what you wanted?


Const strMenuName As String = "&My Menu"
Const strCap1 As String = "Cap1"
Const strSub1 As String = "Sub1"
Const strCap2 As String = "Cap2"
Const strSub2 As String = "Sub2"

Sub AddToWorksheetMB()
Dim cbWMB As CommandBar
Dim cbctrlCustom As CommandBarControl, cbPop As CommandBarPopup
Dim HelpMenu As CommandBarControl
DeleteFromWMB
Set cbWMB = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")
On Error Resume Next
Set HelpMenu = CommandBars(1).FindControl(Id:=30010)
On Error GoTo 0
If HelpMenu Is Nothing Then
Set cbctrlCustom = cbWMB.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
'Help doesn't exist so add to the end
Else
Set cbctrlCustom = cbWMB.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, before:=HelpMenu.Index + 1)
'Add after Help
End If
With cbctrlCustom
.Caption = strMenuName
With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
.Caption = strCap1
.OnAction = strSub1
End With
'add a menu item
Set cbPop = .Controls.Add(msoControlPopup)
With cbPop
.BeginGroup = True
.Caption = "Pop menu :"
.Tag = "MyPop"
With cbPop.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
.Style = msoButtonCaption
.Caption = strCap2
.OnAction = strSub2
End With
End With
'popup on main popup
End With
End Sub

Sub DeleteFromWMB()
Dim cbWMB As CommandBar
Set cbWMB = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")
On Error Resume Next
cbWMB.Controls(strMenuName).Delete
End Sub

Sub Sub1()
MsgBox "Hello"
End Sub

Sub Sub2()
MsgBox "Hello again!"
End Sub
