Create Custom Menu Items For Add-in
Feb 15, 2010
I have created an Addin from one I found on this site which creates a menu on the CommandBar. On this menu I can add my Macros. The Menu is initially supposed to perform a delete function then an add, just in case the menu already exists on the CommandBar. It is also supposed to Uninstall the menu when you de-select the Addin. At the moment it doesn't seem to be doing either, as I have now got 5 CommandBar menu's all the same and I can't delete them?
This also creates a problem of when I add another macro, the menu on the CommandBar doesn't update with the addition?
I have attached the .xla file for you to look at and see where I'm going wrong.

Option Explicit
Dim cMenu1 As CommandBarControl
Dim cbMainMenuBar As CommandBar
Dim iHelpMenu As Integer
Dim cbcCustomMenu As CommandBarControl
'(2)
Set cbMainMenuBar = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")
'(4)
Set cbcCustomMenu = cbMainMenuBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
'(5) Give the control a caption................
I have created several spreadsheet with customized menus. In step 5 when I type
a period the options for selecting Caption does not appear. In step 6 the 'Control' word didn't appear in list. Sometimes the options in step 6 do appear BUT not the option for Controls. I have created spreadsheets with menus that work but the only way I could do it was to cut and paste from the website and then modify it.

I've written a ton of VB macros that do various things to a raw data sheet. I want now to create a custom menu (in the the menu ribbon bar at the top of the screen). I'd like this menu to be used to activate the various macros for whoever has my add-in.
I've found several examples on how to create an add-in, and creating custom menus, however they all for when someone opens a workbook with the code, and then they remove the custom menu when the workbook is closed. I would like my custom menu to stay on the users ribbon bar no matter what workbook they have open. The only time the custom menu should not appear is if the user removes the add-in.

Suppose I delete a (unknown) number of items from the Worksheet Menu Bar. This can vary because of the fact that my excel sheet is being used by a different number of people, all with a different Worksheet Menu Bar configuration. Is there a way of counting how many Menu items are still left in the Worksheet Menu Bar?
So, suppose all that is left (after using the program) in the Worksheet Menu Bar are Excel, File, Tools, Help. How can the porgram find out that there are only 4 items in the menu?

Just curious as to what could make a custom menu or custom button disappear from Excel upon opening it. I had created a custom menu with personal.xls macros in it for someone here a while back, and today it was completely missing.. although the Personal.xls folder still existed with the macros.
I am quite sure that they did not manually remove the menu by right-clicking and selecting Customize and dragging back the menu items...

I have create a custom menu and want to add a choice and a subchoice that will guide the user to insert a number in an inputbox or under a list. Then the user's selected number it will be used as parameter for a vba code.
Eg.:
The choice is: How many rows will be marked
The subchoice : 10 (default value)
What i want is the following:
If the user choose the above subchoice then it has to be appeared an inputbox or something like that in which he has to insert a number, eg. 45. After that the choice must shows
The choice: How many rows will be marked
The subchoice: 45
This parameter must be active all the time that the user uses the workbook. At the end, if the user saves the workbook, the next time it will be opened, the subchoice must have the value 45.
Look at the attachment image to see exactly what i want
Here's the code. Just copy it under a module

I am working on a workbook that has a custom worksheet menu bar item created every time the file opens. If I try to edit the path of these macros and save the file, when i reopen the file, it is back to the original paths. I can't find any VB code, hidden worksheets, hidden cells,etc to find the source of this item being created. I have even deleted all VB modules and worksheets except a blank sheet and it still creates the item. Somewhere this menu bar item is being created and I have no idea where. It acts the same on 4 different machines and acts the same on Excel 97, 2000, 2003 and 2007.

I created an add-in with custom VBA and forms, which also stores user preferences in worksheets in the addin. When the add-in loads, it creates a custom menu on the Add-Ins ribbon that allows the user to run the main macro, or to assign a shortcut key of their choosing. It also allows them to enter registration information.
In Excel 2013, the code is all accessible since the add-in still loads, but it doesn't add the custom menu allowing users to interact with the macros. I'm told this is due to the switch to SDI.
It seems that adding Workbook_Open code to a normal file allows the custom menu to be created, but adding the same code to an add-in file does not work.

A spreadsheet that needs a new menu item in a custom menu does not show the custom menu code. Tools-->Customize-->Commands-->Rearrange Commands shows the menu and allows me to add a new menu item and macro.
After saving and exiting excel and going back into the spreadsheet, the new menu item is gone. How can I find the code to do this to keep the menu item? In the VBE, I looked in the object browser(F2) in all of the libraries and could not find the code. In the workbook_open and workbook_activate I can disable it with CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("menu").Delete and it disappears.

I added a menu command button to a toolbar in a specific workbook. The macro is housed only in that workbook and the macro needs to run on every worksheet in the workbook. However, the button also appears on EVERY Excel workbook that I open when it should not. How can I create a menu command that only appears in the workbook that contains the macro?

Came across an example in a VBA book, wrt adding custom menu items. This example included code for deleting the menu item before closing the workbook.
Is there a reason you'd want to do this? The example already had provisions to delete the menu item if it already existed before the code ran, so you wouldn;t end up with multiple items...

I have created a menu called "Temp" and a sub menu called "Temp1". When the user click on Temp1, I need to dynamically add some menu items under Temp1. Is this possible in Excel?
I need to do this on the right click menu. for example, along with "Cut", paste" etc menu's I need to add a Menu Item, Temp and under this menu, I need to add a SubMenu, Temp1. When the user click on the Temp1, I need to populate the child items.

How do I disable a custom menu item when a user is entering data in a cell?
For example... when the formula bar in Excel has focus, and a user tries to select Data > Sort, the Sort item is disabled. But when the focus is back to the worksheet, Data > Sort is enabled.
I need to do the same thing for my custom menu items.
