Ribbon management in Excel-2007

Dear all,

I am using Excel-2007 and need some help on Ribbon management. I want, for some of my excel files the entire Ribbon-bar should be invisible. Currently what is happening is that if I make Ribbon invisible, then it becomes effective for all open excel files, however I want to make it invisible for some of my excel files.

Is it possible?

Thanks for your time.

How are youmaking it invisible, using

Code:

---

Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro "SHOW.TOOLBAR(""Ribbon"",False)"

---

Just add that code to the workbook activate event, and the converse to the deactivate event.

Thanks Xld, it is what I wanted

Hi Xld, I got another problem. When I execute that code entire menu bar gets missing. Therefore I tried following code to show the menubar but still hide the Ribbon:

Code:

---

Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
    Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro "SHOW.TOOLBAR(""Ribbon"",False)"
    CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Visible = True
End Sub

---

However it generates error. Can anyone please tell me what is the correct code?

Thanks,

Which menu bar are you referring to? CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar") is a 2003 concept not 2007.

Dear Xld, please see the attachment. I make a red circle on what I meant as Menu Bar.............

Problem is that, when I run above code, this menu bar is also disappearing. How to stop that?

Thanks,

I thought that might be what you meant. Unfortunately, those are the ribbon captions, so when the ribbon goes, they go.

hi arrun, I have found another solution for ur problem.instead of making Ribbon Invisible, v need to minimize it so that the Menubar is displayed.

So try the below code in window activate n deactivate proc.

Code:

---

Application.SendKeys ("^{F1}")

---

Hopefully it should work:)

Hi khushii thanks for this reply. It is ok, however is there any code which will check whether ribbon is activated or not?

Thanks,
