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.
View 2 RepliesI'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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn 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 added items to my "Cell" context menu but was wondering if there is a way to move one of the items to the Filter submenu. Below is the code I am using to customize the context menuI want to move the "Filter Status" item to the filter submenu.
Sub AddToRightClick()
Dim ContextMenu As CommandBar
Dim ContextMenu2 As CommandBar
'This is for the normal view right click menu
Set ContextMenu = Application.CommandBars("cell")

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.

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.
my worksheet menu bar is displaying the ' Chart' menu no matter what I do. Not only do I have no charts in the workbook, (verified this by: )
For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.Select
MsgBox ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Count
Next ws
but adding worksheets, selecting various parts of a worksheet, creating a chart and deleting it, and everything else I've tried has no effect.
One interesting thing - the first chart I added (to test if it would 'unstick' itself upon deletion of the new chart) was named 'Chart 2', implying there was a chart1 that existed previously.... although I am fairly certain I never added a chart to this workbook at any point.
Also, the menu bar is working fine in other workbooks, and changes to chart and back to data like normal.
how to link axis properties with a scroll bar (two scroll bars).
The idea is to be able to modify the maximum and minimum values for the axis in case there are outliers which might cause problems by analyzing the chart.
The Guideline in the scroll bar should be set to its maximum (all the way up) by Default, meaning that if there chart behaves itself well there is no need to change its axis values.
The same applies for the minimum guideline of the scrollbar but it should be sent all the way down by Default.
I need some vba code to
a) determine which of excel's menubars is active (Worksheet Menu Bar or Chart menu Bar)
b) delete the controls ie File, Edit, View etc menus from that menu bar
c) restore the controls to that menubar on workbook close
Normally this wouldn't be required but my version of excel is 2002 which has the Worksheet Menu Bar active and the work version is excel 2000 which has the Chart Menu Bar active.
I don't know why the Chart Menu Bar is active on the work system as there are no charts in my project.
Most of the development takes place at home so i need to be able to use vba to perform the above tasks
The menubar itself must remain active so i can add a custom menu to it.
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.
Ok, so I have this neat little macro that on right-click brings up a custom context menu that displays a few different options - for example one such function is simply copying the selected cell content to a (specific) different sheet. It is a very useful feature in the context I am normally using it to merge information from different locations in a new structure (well, I think this is irrelevant, but just letting you know basically what I am doing).
Anyhow, to implement the custom context menu, I am using events in the ThisWorkbook object, namely Activate to add context menu entries and DeActivate to remove them if switching workbook.
Now, if I receive any workbook from someone else, I'd like to add this feature to get the custom context menu easily without having to copy the received workbook into a new workbook (it's a bit of a hassle, and ideally, if the received workbook has any other macros, this function could just be merged). I was thinking using an add-in to achieve this, but using the ThisWorkbook events in the add-in doesn't trigger the events (I guess because the hidden workbook in the add-in is never "Activated" or "DeActivated").
I want to format the cells in column B under the context of the cells in the corresponding row of column A. For example I want to color the cells in column B that the context of the corresponding row of column A is 1:
1

4
dog
1
cat

I had to crash Excel because it had got itself into a pickle - run out of memory or something anyway it was chasing itself up it's own backside.
I rebooted to restore memory and ever since then my Context sensitive auto complete on VB statements, subroutines and functions has vanished and I can't figure out how to get it back.
How to restore this as I have some seriously complicated routines that are MUCH slower to code if I don't have this option.
I have created a sub to add new controls to the "Cell" shortcut menu. Can I remove the standard "Cell" shortcut menu controls? if so how do you do it?

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.

I have actually got the Window menu in the Main Menu Bar of excel deleted using below command.
Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("Window").Delete
Now this is something which I dont even know if it can be done, but its something which I would use, a lot. When clicking on a button, like a normal button from the control toolbox, is it possible to open a menu from this? So I click on the button i made called "accounts" and this opens a menu next to it with different options.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSuppose 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?

I need a VBA code for the Excel sheet that i am cuttently working in that will do the following:
i have text and pictures in range O86:W97 that must be automaticaly romoved & replaced by another range after the above mentioned code hase complete
the range that must be replaced with the following,
O101:w112 Pdf code must run then
O113:w124 pdf code must run then
O125:w136 pdf code must run then
O137:w148 pdf code must run then
O149:w160 pdf code must run then
note that the ranges run in a sequence 101to112 then 113to124 then 125to136 and so on
Now this needs to be repeated 190 time starting from range O101:w112. The range O86:w97 forms part of my print area of A1:W97, this means i will have 190 PDF saved pdf sheets when i the vba code is complete.
I have one excel file with three sheets marked 1,2 & 4
Sheet 1. is the place we add the description and the member number. When a member number is entered it gets the member name from sheet 4.
Sheet 2 is the page I need to change. Currently we can enter any score number in each box between 1 to 5. If we try to enter other numbers we get an error message.
I need to change the form so we can enter 1 to 10. Any other number needs to generate the error message.
