Command bar woe

[Jeff Standen]

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me the problem here? I'm adding a toolbar that does various
things that are useful to me. It works fine right up to the
msoContolButtonDropDown, upon trying to add which I get error 5, invalid
procedure call/argument. Does the dropdown button not work properly? Or,
more likely, am I missing something?

Cheers,

Jeff

Jeff,

While that is a valid type of commandbutton, not all types are available to
the user for cutom commandbars. IIRC, only five of the many types are
available to the end user. The other types are for built-in controls, so
the constants are there because those types return those values when reading
the properties of the built in controls.

HTH,
