How to associate toolbar to a template

[Yi]

I wanted to use VB.NET to automate Word to create a customized toolbar and
associate the toolbar to a certain template, so that only when opening a file
created based on this template, this customized toolbar will be displayed.

I did the following manually using Office XP:
- Select menu item "tools/customize", "toolbars" tab. Press button "New".
- In the "New Toolbar" dialog, list "Make toolbar available to", select one
item, e.g. "Document1". Press "OK". This associates the toolbar to template
"Document1".
- Close the "Customize" dialog.

I recorded a Macro for these operations but found the Macro does not tell
how to associate the toolbar to the template. The Macro contains only one
command "CommandBars.Add(Name:="Custom 1").Visible = True".

Is there a method to do the same operation with VB code? Or is there other
way to display a customized toolbar only to a group of documents that are
created with a certain template?

Best wishs,
Yi

You need to set the CustomizationContext, otherwise it's a
lottery in which file the toolbars will be created, and then
deleted. Look it up in the object model Help.

sub document_new
activedocument.commandbars.add "Commandbarname"
activedocument.cammandbars("CommandbarName").visible:=true
end sub

sub document_close
activedocument.commandbars("CommandbarName").delete
end sub
