Modify Right-Click Menu Built-in Commands
Apr 17, 2008
I am developing a program for my electrical calculations (electrical panel). In the program, on my worksheet, I need all row inserts/deletes being watched and logged into another worksheet. I have become to a conclusion it would be best done by "taking over" default behaviour of built-in right-click menu commands like "Copy", "Paste" and "Delete".
In the ozgrid tips page I found some solutions how to deactivate those commands, but that is not what is best for me - when the menu item (or a corresponding key) is pressed, I would like to check if the ActiveCell (or ActiveRow) meats some criteria, and acording to that, make some changes in my "log" - and after - let further actions to default command behaviour. I think of it like "BeforeDelete", "BeforeInsert" or something. In fact the "log" is the worksheet with coordinates of my tables from the first worksheet, which should be changed according to new size of a table after the row insert or delete.

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 need to disable the "save as" file menu command when a user opens a shared document. Upon exit I want to enable the save as so that other opened worksheets are not affected. This code works: CommandBars("File").Controls("Save As...").Enabled = False
My problem is this. I can activate this command by selecting run in the VB editor.
But I need for this action to be automatic when a user opens the worksheet. I did this in the editor:
Under general
Sub dISABLESAVEAS()
CommandBars("File").Controls("Save As...").Enabled = False
End
Sub WORKSHEET_BEFORECLOSE()
CommandBars("File").Controls("Save As...").Enabled = True
End

I have not been able to find any references to anywhere, so here I am....
I'm using Excel 2003 that has a menu bar added by another program that interfaces with it (via DDE, as I understand it). The DLL's from the other program have no documentation and/or ability for me to connect to the particular drop-down menu command I'm using. It is a refresh command that re-imports stock market trade data because DDE drops trade messages.

I have some code that loads and unloads a command under the "DATA" menu bar. Is it possible to add an item to the menu bar and put the commands under the new menu item? For example: Add "XYZ Consulting" as a menu bar item so it would like as follows: File, Edit, Insert, Format, Tools, Data, Window, XYZ Consulting.

Is it possible to modify the context menu for a chart? I want to create a menu option that runs a macro. I've found code that modifies the context menu for cells, but I haven't had any luck with charts.

I want to be able to give my application menu when the user right-clicks on a specific series of cells. I've already got the code that will limit the right-click options to the cells that I want.
How do I then form and execute the menu that I want the user to see - "Archive Data", "Edit Data", "Add Data", for instance, rather than the normal right-click menu?

I have been modifying the options available on my right click menu, getting rid of about half of what was there and adding items I use quite often like Paste Values, Paste Formats, Paste Formulas, Sort..., AutoSum, and Format as Percent, as well as adding group dividers. I have it just the way I want it, but I have one issue. If the clipboard is empty, all of the paste buttons are disabled on the Standard toolbar and in the Edit menu as are the Paste and Paste Special... items on the right click menu, but the new paste items I added to my right click menu are still enabled. If I click on one, I get a "PasteSpecial method of Range class failed" error because I have no range selected. I got around this by adding On Error Resume Next to the macros of my added paste functions - not elegant, but functional. Is there a way to have those items appear grayed out and disabled on my right click menu when the clipboard is empty as opposed to my current workaround?

I have acquired code to add an item to the right-click menu.
I have added my item using "before:=1", which works fine by putting the item at the top of the list of items in the menu.
My problem is that I require to add the same item ( obviously with a different name ) that needs to be at the bottom of the list.
The reason being, that the pop-up can either display downwards or upwards and I want the user to be in closest proximity of the item.
if it possible ) to add an item to the bottom of the list.
The line I need to change is:
CommandBars("Cell").Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, before:=1).Caption = "MyMacros2"

I created a right-click menu for userform textboxes from a code I found through googling. It works perfect, however, I don't know how to get it to work for more than one textbox.
Here's the code for the userform:

Is it possible to create a menu that could be called by a double click which would allow you to click on a value from that menu and insert it into the double clicked cell. I know I could use a data validation list, but that is tacky and you have to scroll down the list to find the data you would like. I'd like to have a menu pop up that stores different values in 6 columns and 25 rows. Any way without having to jump into an access database?

I've run into this really strange problem with my right click menu (popup command bar) The UF that handles the cb is loaded at workook open event and it's modal*
When first right click, the commandbar is invisible, but it's there. Only shadow seems, and when click on arrow, starts showing menu. I could say that something like repaint needed. If i click on anything, next time it popups normally !!
The problem does not occur if:
1) i load the uf manually
2)* display the UF modeless

2. when I right click the sheet, the menu doesn't show up.
3. Insert columns/rows, When I highlight 2 columns/rows, right-click the mouse & the menu doesn't show up for me to choose insert col/row.

Right click menus are a well known topic but I am struggling to find information on what I want to do with them. I have seen it done so I know its possible. What I want to do is completely replace the right click menu with my own custom one on a worksheet.
I do NOT want to add things to the existing right click menu I want to effectivly disable the existing one and put on my very own one in its place. I have looked at the code for adding a menu to a textbox etc which seems sound but I can't trigger it with an event. I don't have any code to show Im afraid as I am just playing with other people at the moment trying to get it to work.

I used the commandBar to create a right-click menu on a userForm but unfortunately I get an error 400 every time I click on the option "Edit" and I don't understand what I did wrong.
Sub CreateCmdBar()
Dim st As CommandBar
'delete the pop-up if it exists
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("flexgrid_rc").Delete
'Disables enabled error handler in the current procedure and resets it to Nothing. On Error GoTo 0
On Error Goto 0
Set st = CommandBars.Add( Name:="flexgrid_rc", Position:=msoBarPopup, Temporary:=False)
'add two menu items to the new commandbar

I want to add Paste Values to the right click menu in Excel 2007. Can this be done without recording a separate macro to run it? What I mean is If I add the command itself to the right click menu, can it run of of the standard RightClick -> Paste Special -> Values option, or must I record a macro that does those steps each time?

I'm using Excel 2003 and am unable to find the name of, and therefore customise, the right-click shortcut menu that pops up when you right-click on a line drawn from the 'Drawing" toolbar. Basically, I'm trying to do some technical analysis on a chart. I want to be able to right-click on the lines that I draw on the chart and replicate a parallel line.

I have written some code that customises my Right-Click Menu. This works perfectly well but doesn't create the FaceIDs.Can anyone explain why? The Code is as follows

Dim intLoopCounter As Integer
'DEFINE THE RANGE CONTAINING ALL THE MACRO NAMES
Set rngMacroNames = Sheet1.Range("MacroNames")
'DEFINE ARRAY OF FaceIDs
arrFaceIDs = Array(255, 590, 350, 536, 576, 410, 401)

I'm working on a sheet which uses a fair amount of indirects, deleting or adding rows bugger these up, so I wanted to replace them with a macro which does if for them and keeps the structure intact. I've sorted the macro to do this and have sorted the macro to replace delete with my delete in the cell RC menu but the row RC menu only seems to work on around 50% of the PC's? All PC's are XP with XL 2003. The code I've used is detailed below. Is this a known issue with XL or something funky with some of the PC's?
With Application
. CommandBars("Row").Controls("Delete Row").Delete
Application.CommandBars("Row").FindControl(ID:=293).Delete
Set cBut2 = .CommandBars("Row").Controls.Add(Temporary:=True, Before:=6)
End With
With cBut2
.Caption = "Delete Row"
.Style = msoButtonCaption
.OnAction = "Delete_Row"
End With

I cannot figure out why this setting has changed. When I right click my tab worksheet in Excel to copy or rename, it does not allow me. I will need your advice to re-activate that options so it is visible and not gray. I tried in the VBA workbook properties settings with no luck and also Tools, Options.

In Excel 2010 onwards (probably 2007 as well) there are two right click context menus that pop up on a cells.
The "Cell" command bar and also a smaller formatting bar.
What is this bar called and if you remove it how do you get it back when you have removed all the standard bars.
VB:
Application.Commandbars("Cell").Reset
The above doesn't seem to get back the formatting bar. I did managed to get it back but through luck rather than judgement. Just through looping through every commadbar and printing it to the immediate window.
I've added the name of the context menu to each commadbar but the formatting one does not get a name put at the bottom of it. I've looked on this site and it doesn't seem to say anything about this new menu.

I have customised the right click menu's for this spreadsheet and currently it is all hard coded. I was wondering if it is possible to dynamically modify the right click menu? The code currently has right click buttons for each staff member, and when clicked other actions are performed. I have added a "Staff" sheet and was wondering if there is a way the code can reference that sheet and create the list based on those entries for example, when new staff join or other staff leave?
I'm sure that there is a better way to go about this, perhaps a For... Next loop but I don't know enough about it. In the mean time, I will keep bashing away at it in hopes of a brainwave... it's a Friday before a long weekend and I think my brain has decided its holiday time.

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.
