Custom menu

S

Simon Minder

Hi all,

I have a problem with my custom menu. I would like to have several levels of
the menu with sub menus. Unfortunately, I don't get back to the top-level.

Example:
1
1.1
1.2
2
3

Instead of:
1
1.1
1.2
2
3

I guess I need to include some code between:

With cbcCutomMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
.Caption = "German"
.FaceId = 420
.OnAction = "TheFinancialServiceProvidersChartG"
End With

' and this set of code

Set cbcCutomMenu = cbcCutomMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
cbcCutomMenu.Caption = "Return Analysis"

to come back to the first level. Otherwise I can only add menu links on the
same level.

Please find below the whole code. I would like to have "Return Analysis" on
the same level as the "The Financial Service Providers".

Can anybody help?

Kind regards,

Simon Minder

Simon,

Here is an example

Set oCb = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")
With oCb
Set oCtl = .Controls("Tools").Controls.Add( _
Type:=msoControlPopup, _
temporary:=True)
oCtl.Caption = "1"
With oCtl
Set oCtlBtn = .Controls.Add( _
Type:=msoControlButton, _
temporary:=True)
oCtlBtn.Caption = "1.1"
oCtlBtn.FaceId = 161
oCtlBtn.OnAction = "macro11"
End With
With oCtl
Set oCtlBtn = .Controls.Add( _
Type:=msoControlButton, _
temporary:=True)
oCtlBtn.Caption = "1.2"
oCtlBtn.FaceId = 161
oCtlBtn.OnAction = "macro12"
End With
Set oCtl = .Controls("Tools").Controls.Add( _
Type:=msoControlPopup, _
temporary:=True)
oCtl.Caption = "2"
With oCtl
Set oCtlBtn = .Controls.Add( _
Type:=msoControlButton, _
temporary:=True)
oCtlBtn.Caption = "2.1"
oCtlBtn.FaceId = 161
oCtlBtn.OnAction = "macro11"
End With
End With

Hi Bob

Thank you very much for your quick response and your example. However, I
have a bit a problem to apply your example to my code.

Do I only need to change the code like that:

Set cbcCutomMenu =
cbcCutomMenu.Controls("MFO").Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup,
temporary:=True)
cbcCutomMenu.Caption = "Return Analysis"

instead of

Set cbcCutomMenu = cbcCutomMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
cbcCutomMenu.Caption = "Return Analysis"

?

Thanks.
