Create floating button based on button click in menu

[ExcelMonkey]

I have a menu that I install. I create a button in the menu. What I now
want to do is on the Onaction Property tell VBA to create a floating button
that pops up on my screen. I then want to attach that button to another
macro. So I only want this floating button to appear when I click on the
button in my menu. And I want it to float on my screen so that I can close
it when I do not need it. Does anyone know how to do this?


Sub MenuSetup()
Dim MenuBar As CommandBar
Dim MyMenu
Dim MySubMenu1 As CommandBarButton

Set MenuBar = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar

Set MyMenu = MenuBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, Temporary:=True)
MyMenu.Caption = "&Tools"
'MyMenu.BeginGroup = True

'******
'Create First Button Items
Set MySubMenu1 = MyMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, ID:=1,
Temporary:=True)
MySubMenu1.Caption = "First Button"
MySubMenu1.FaceId = 590
MySubMenu1.OnAction = "Want this to call up floating button"

Just create a userform the size of the button and set its ShowModal property
to false. Put the button on the userform (and put the code in the code
module) and you can use it whenever you need it, click the close button of
the userform [X] to make it go away.

i just use this with a togglebutton. when i click the togglebutton, i want
to hide the commandbutton so the user can't click on it. when they click the
togglebutton again, i make it visible

Worksheets("sheet1").commandbutton1.Visible = False

and

Worksheets("sheet1").commandbutton1.Visible = True
