Create Floating Toolbar (not Menu)
Jan 13, 2007
Need to code to create a custom floating menu which appears on opening the workbook. It works brilliantly, but I'd like to adapt it so that I can create a floating toolbar, which is fully expanded upon opening, where the button faces are plain text which I designate. Let's suppose the macros I want the buttons to trigger are called MacroA and MacroB, and that the text on the buttons should read "Do A" and "Do B".
Sub Create_Menu()
Dim MyBar As CommandBar
Dim MyPopup As CommandBarPopup
Dim MyButton As CommandBarButton
Delete_Menu 'make sure commandbar isn't already running
Set MyBar = CommandBars.Add( Name:="My Menu", _
Position:=msoBarFloating, temporary:=True)
With MyBar
.Top = 175
.Left = 850
Set MyPopup = .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup)
With MyPopup
.Caption = "My Tools" 'change to suit....................

I've created a Pivot Chart in which I want to display travel by various folks to mulitple sites. The Site field is a Page field. If I set the Pivot Chart to a Custom -- Floating Bar style it displays fine, but if I change the Page field selection the chart reverts back to a stacked bar style.
I've tried setting the default chart type to Floating Bar (this doesn't take), and naming a custom style that is Floating Bar (and setting the pivot chart to this custom style -- but again the style does not hold on a change to the Page field).
I ran into this a few years ago and wrote some event macros to reformat the chart when the sheet is activated and when it calculates, but it seems there should be a simpler (built-in) way. Am I missing something obvious? Is there a way to make the Floating Bar style stick in a pivot chart without resorting to VBA updating?

I have created a custom floating toolbar that works perfect (thanks to all the reading on here!). My workbook is a stand alone estimating tool that many users will have a copy of.
I have two things I want to do yet but I cant find it on here.
1) My buttons on my toolbar - I want to have custom icons. I can do this temporarily but when I exit my worksheet and re-open they are lost. Is there anyway to save a custom icon. I am willing to add it to the icon list if necessary and then when users open the workbook copy the custom icons onto their computer. But I am not sure how/where I could do this.
Worse case, can I color my button text?
2) When my toolbar appears, it is wide, all buttons are going left to right. I want the size to be small width so the toolbar buttons are on top of each other. Any thoughts? I tried adding a .width but it didnt work.

Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
Run "AddMenus"
End Sub
It gets deleted with the following:
Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
Run "DeleteMenu"
End Sub............

how to manage a custom faceid. Though, I am not too sure as to how to assign an actual icon to a custom toolbar. I can try the pasteface method; though as the source file is a .png; the picture might be too small.

I would like to use the attached "menu maker" file I found on Ron De Bruin's site using a Sheet to build the menu, yet be able to place it before the Help menu as suggested by this site [url] by finding the position of Help.
I have amended the code yet receive a "Compile error: Variable not defined" error.

I have a workbook (VBE.xls) that creates menu options in the VBE when it opens.
Several of them modify the code in the active codepane.
When the codepane is in VBE.xls, everything gets reset and my macros don't run anymore. I have to re-run the macro (menu_setup()) that creates the menu options.
I don't think there is anything I can do about it resetting when I modify the project that created the menus.
Is there some way to have each macro re-run menu_setup() AFTER it has ended (after the reset has cleared everything)?
I've tried having each macro open the immediate window and paste in "menu_setup" then tried to use "sendkeys" command to execute it, but I can't seem to get it work.

which of these toolbars provides the better 'controls' to paste onto worksheets (as opposed to UserForms)? For those wondering, both toolbars contain some apparently similar controls, e.g., combo box, radio button, spinner etc. but there are differences in their behaviour it would seem...

Need to create a drop down menu for a cell that allows selection of 1 of the 5 to 10 alternatives by clicking on an item in the drop down. Have seen this done by attaching a down arrow button to the cell.
What is this feature called, and how do I go about setting this up?

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.

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.

I am creating a very simple spreadsheet to manage my gym memberships. It basically has membership number, first name, last name, membership type (drop down box) start date and expiry date. I have put in conditional formatting so that the expiry date goes red when expired but i want to try and automate the inputting of the dates so for example.
If i select '1 week membership) from the drop down box in the membership type box it will firstly change the start date to the current date (i think this is using the NOW() function) and secodnly changes the expriry date to todays date plus 6 days. Ofcourse i want the expiry date to increase depending on the selection so if i select 1 month membership it would be now date plus 28 days.
I am stuck as to how i can do this and from internet tutorials have been told it requires macro as it cant be done any other way?

See attached file - I would like to use the "Create Parts issue Report" Button to create worksheet titled "Parts Issue Report" based on the pulldown menu in cell B1 tab "Vehicle data" so each pulll down will generate a different "Parts Issue Report" when clicking the "Create Parts Issue Report" button. I think it needs to be a looping VBA to go thru the "Vehicle Data" rows and columns looking for the keywords "late" or past" as I only want a report created on that criteria. The output criteria I have label in the tab "Parts Issue Report" I can explain further if needed.

I want to create a submenu to an already existing user defined menu.
After creating and saving the sub menu using Tools ->Customize ,it works fine. But when
I reopen the Excel sheet it is not found.
I could not find any macro related to the original User menu.Also this menu gets displayed after the AUTO OPen macro in my excel has worked. This menu gets displayed for only that workbook and not for others.
I have been trying to find out a way to create Sub menu for that ,but could not?

I have a workbook with multiple sheets. Is there a tool that creates a menu bar or code that I can add that would support navigation?
My goal is to have something with approximately 4 options (buttons?). They would link to 4 different sheets that serve as indexes within the workbook.
I know I can add a control like a button to a given sheet that would take the user to given sheet when clicked, but can I make the button 'float' above all the sheets, or add to a menu bar, or something? I just don't want to have to add the button to every sheet in the workbook.
I am looking for something simple/easy, and am not looking for anybody to do the work. I just have no idea on how to approach the problem.
