Custom Menu Code Missing Or Hidden
Dec 2, 2008
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.

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 have run into a problem with the Insert menu.
In the submenu
Cells
Rows
Columns
Worksheet
are "Greyed out" and therefore not available.
This happens when the application is first opened - no code is running it seems to be associated with the Personal workbook?
I have not encountered this previously.
IT help desk was its usual high standard - ZIP
I have searched this board without success.
The Microsoft Help functions were also silent.

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.

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 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 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
Option Explicit
Dim cbMenu As CommandBarControl
Dim cbSubMenu As CommandBarControl

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.

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?

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 want to add a control under Chart on the menu bar. This line of code errors with "Invalid Procedure Call or Argument"
With Application. CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("Chart")
Change "Chart" to "File" or "Edit" or "Tools" and it's fine.
The Chart item only appears when a chart is selected, but it errors even when a chart on the worksheet is selected.

is there a way to cause my custom menu items to grey out like the built-in ones, depending on the current selection or when the status of the active worksheet/workbook changes (e.g. when the book is protected to disallow certain actions)?
Obviously I can trap any problems once the associated VBA is invoked, but it'd be more professional if I could just prevent that from happening in the first place.
