Good morning Martin! Thanks for using Microsoft Newsgroup Support Service,
my name is Ji Zhou [MSFT] and I will be working on this issue with you.
I use the same ribbon xml file and VBA routine as yours, but I cannot
reproduce this issue on my side. When I press the new created button on the
ribbon, the PowerPoint will always find and call my VBA routine correctly.
The following is what I have done on my side. If my steps have any
difference from yours, please let me know.
1.Firstly, I downloaded a ribbon customization tool "Custom UI Editor Tool"
from this link
http://openxmldeveloper.org/archive/2006/05/26/CustomUIeditor.aspx
2.I opened the PowerPoint application. A blank PowerPoint file was created
by default and I saved it as .pptm file(Macro Enabled PowerPoint) into the
D:\
3.I started the tool "Custom UI Editor Tool", used it to open the .pptm
file created in step 2, and pasted your ribbon xml string into the editor.
<customUI xmlns="
http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon startFromScratch="false">
<tabs>
<tab id="customTab" label="Menu-Macros">
<group id="CreateMenu" label="Create Menu">
<button id="MenuBuild" label="Create a Menu"
imageMso="SlideMasterTextPlaceholderInsert" size="large"
onAction="modMenue.CreateMenuRibbon" screentip="Create a
menu"/>
</group>
</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
</customUI>
I clicked the Save button in the tool's command bar. This automatically
added the folder and XML file to the document container and created the
relationship for us.
4.I opened the .pptm file in PowerPoint application, and pressed Alt+F11 to
show up the VBA IDE. Afterwards, I created a module named modMenue and
inputted the following VBA routine codes into that module.
Sub CreateMenuRibbon(control As IRibbonControl)
MsgBox "test"
End Sub
5.I saved the .pptm file and navigated the ribbon to Tab "Menu-Macros",
clicked "Create a Menu" button. A message box with "test" string popped up.
Would you like to try my steps on your side to see if it works? And I have
also attached the PowerPoint file I created in this post for your testing.
If the problem still exists, could you please provide your created
powerpoint file to me for a troubleshooting purpose. You can access me by
the following email, (e-mail address removed).
Have a nice day!
Best regards,
Ji Zhou (
