Prevent Customization Of Menus And Toolbars
Nov 20, 2007
I have a custom toolbar created in a workbook. I have coded my workbook so that the full screen is displayed, removing the title bars, status bars etc
Application.DisplayFullScreen = True
However, there is still another menu option I am not able to remove. It is the "Add or Remove Buttons" and when you click that the "Customize..." button also is enabled.
I looked up some code on microsoft and only found code in office97 that gave me errors in 2003:
Sub DisableCustomize()
Application.CommandBars("Tools").Controls("&Customize...").Delete
CommandBars("Toolbar List").Enabled = False
End Sub
The quote from the site says "To prevent others from changing the menus and toolbars in a custom application, remove or turn off the Customize option on the Tools menu and turn off the Toolbar List shortcut menu."
I get an error saying invalid procedure when I run that.
how to disable the button or prevent users from choosing it?

I am using the following code to create a custom command menu.
Sub AddMenus()
Dim cMenu1 As CommandBarControl
Dim cbMainMenuBar As CommandBar
Dim iHelpMenu As Integer
Dim cbcCustomMenu As CommandBarControl
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("&New Menu").Delete
On Error Goto 0
Set cbMainMenuBar = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")..........................
I want to add a new button control at the bottom of the menu underneath the holiday control but it keeps adding it on the sub menu, which leads off the holiday button control. I want the menu to look like this.
Open Net 2 Access
Add Employee
Edit Employee
Delete Employee
Holidays (3 options on sub menu)
*New Control

From this link: [url]
there is some clever code to create a customized menu in a dynamic Add-Ins section of the Excel ribbon; this section disappears when the workbook is deactivated and re-appears when it is activated. The custom menu has 2 main items each of which can launch a macro. There is also a 3rd main item called "Next Menu" which cascades nicely to a sub-menu. That sub-menu can have several items of its own. Very cool code.
However, I am trying to add a 4th item in the main menu, say, "Next Menu2" which also cascades to a sub-menu. The problem I'm having is when I try to replicate this code to accomplish this, "Next Menu2" appears in the sub-menu of "Next Menu", rather than as a separate (4th) main item below "Next Menu".
I believe there was another post (not sure of the date, but has since expired) which asked basically the same question as mine. There was a reply with code saying "This should work" but when I tried it, it didn't help.

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 am attempting to create a type of customizable catalog using Excel. This idea is to have one worksheet in the workbook contain a standard set of info for all products, including a picture of the product. Another worksheet would be the "selection" page where a user puts an "x" next to the model number they want in their customized catalog. The third worksheet would contain the customized catalog entries.
I have been able to get all the data info to assemble correctly on the third worksheet using the IF function (data like model #, price, availability, description etc.) but the master data also contains a picture of the product. Try as I might, I cannot find a way to get the image to move over with all the other data.
Is there a way (functions or VBA) that I can keep the image from the master worksheet with all the data when it copies over to the customized catalog page ?

I created a custom toolbar in excel. by right clicking on the toolbar, creating new, adding a couple buttons and assigning them to a couple macros.
I'd like to send this to people, how do i do this.
Obviously, the toobars's would have to reference the macros, these i have in an add-in.
Is there anyway that i could attach the toolbar's to the add-in so i could just send the add-in.
I also created a menu, is there anyway that i can put this into the Add-in also?
Where does the toolbar i created and the menu that i created save down. If i open a new excel without opening personal.xls, the toolbars will still be there (open one excel, then open another and it tells me that my personal.xls is in use by jason harris, i hit cancel so it opens without my personal workbook)
Lastly, if I open excel, then go into VB, I can save my personal workbook. How do I save this as or save a copy?

my excel is no longer showing any tool bars and I can not get them back, is there any short cuts to bring back the menus? I can’t even do a right mouse click on the sells for some reason. The only tool bar that is showing is the formula bar.

I find that the picture toolbar opening automatically when I click on a picture useful (sometimes).
Is there anyway of automating other toolbars to open (such as 'chart') when I click on an object?
I've been looking at various add-ins in google - but can't find one to do that.

Everytime this meant that I had to start from scratch in order to have my customized toolbars. This is a bit inconvenient.
Can I simply save some file (containing my XL toolbar settings) from some location and if I ever run into such a situation again, I can simply copy the saved file back into the same folder...
Thanks in advance for your help and BTW would the solution work the same way for different Excel versions or?? My O/S is XP and I use both Excel 2003 (once in a while I also use Excel 97 but that is installed on my other old pc).

A IT Ordering system has been created using Excel, I am prompted to enable Macros, no problem there. The problem is that when I exit the worksheet using a formulas setup as an exit button, my Excel is displayed with my Toolbars missing. I have been unable right-click at the top and re-add these I am only presented with the option to minimise, close etc. 1. How can I replace my Toolbars? 2. Is there a formula fix so that I can use this worksheet without losing my toolbars?

I use excel 2003 and have maybe 60-70 macros linked to buttons on maybe 6 custom toolbars. The macros are saved on a personal.xls that is saved in the XLStart folder so it will auto start every time I run excel. My excel crashed and my toolbars are all empty nubs and my personal.xls is still in the same folder but does not auto start...did a detect and repair no help...I manually started personal.xls no help...I found a thread that suggested looking for *.xlb didn't find it...a shared file with the same toolbars can be seen by other computers but not mine...

CommandBars("ToolBar List").Enabled = True
CommandBars("Ply").Enabled = True

I have a procedure that stores the Commandbar names and visibility settings in an array on open. Another procedure hides all Commandbars on open and restores their original visibility settings on close. For some reason the "Standard" and " Formatting" toolbars don't return to visible on close.
My error log says "08/13/07 18:21:37 [QA.xls]MCommandBars.bRemoveMenus(), Error -2147467259: Method 'Visible' of object 'CommandBar' failed". I have tried manually testing the hide/unhide procedure with hard coded settings and checked the correct variables are being sent and all seems to be correct.
I am pretty confident that the procedure to store settings is correct but have included the code just in case, also just noticed the "Standard" and "Formatting" toolbars are the only two visible at programme start.
Public gsaMenus() As String
Public Function bMenuSettings() As Boolean
Const sSOURCE As String = "bMenuSettings()"
Dim bReturn As Boolean
Dim iCounter As Integer
Dim cbrMenu As office.CommandBar

I find (what look like) two extra toolbars have appeared at the top (below the standard and formatting toolbars) and to the left of my worksheet.
They have lines, dots and little boxes with an x or - in them, depending if you click on them or not. The +/- box function seems to be to make columns appear and disappear.
How did I turn this function on and more importantly, how do I turn it off?

I created 3 custom toolbars. I want toolbar A to be visible only in Workbook A.xls, toolbar B to be visible only in Workbook B.xls and toolbar C to be visible only in Workbook C.xls. while Workbooks A,B, and C are open at the same time. I use Workbook A to automatically open Workbooks B and C.
Problem: Since I'm openning the Workbooks automatically it only keeps the Toolbar C visible on all Woksheets.
I included the following code in the This Workbook Object on each Workbook:
For Workbook A:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.CommandBars("A").Visible = True
Application.CommandBars("B").Visible = False
Application.CommandBars("C").Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Application.CommandBars("A").Visible = False
Application.CommandBars("B").Visible = False
Application.CommandBars("C").Visible = False..............................

I have a macro that starts when the workbook is open that hides many of the headers and toolbars. It is great and works fine unless you are working on another workbook and need to see those headers and tool bars. Is there a way to display and hide those items per workbook and not for the entire application. here is my failed attempt:
Sub show_excel_headers()
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
wb.Application. ScreenUpdating = False
'Display Headings in all worksheets
Dim wsSheet As Worksheet
Dim sSheetStart
Set sSheetStart = ActiveSheet
wb.Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each wsSheet In Worksheets
wsSheet.Activate
ActiveWindow.DisplayHeadings = True

Is it possible to use a function that removes all toolbars upon opening the workbook and reinstates the same upon closing, the work book i am currently using does the following as described in the code. however the function is limited in that only toolbars stated in the code will be removed, if for instance there was an adobe toolbar, that remains on the screen. or is there a better way of going about this? On open:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Run ("CreatePReturn")
Run ("CreateProceed")
With Application
.CommandBars(" Formatting").Visible = False
.CommandBars("Standard").Visible = False
.CommandBars("Drawing").Visible = False
.CommandBars("Return").Visible = False
.CommandBars("Proceed").Visible = False
.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Enabled = False
.CommandBars(" Chart Menu Bar").Enabled = False
.DisplayFormulaBar = False
.DisplayStatusBar = False
End With
With ActiveWindow
.DisplayHeadings = False
.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = False
.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = False
.DisplayWorkbookTabs = False
End With.................................

In Windows 98 for example when you created a Customised Toolbar and attached macros to it a file was created with the user name followed by 8.
i.e. timbo8
You could copy this file and keep it was a backup in case you lost the toolbar/s. Which invariably happened whn someone else logged onto your pc. When the company transferred over to Windows 2000 this file was called something else I thing it ended in a .xla extension but I don't know what it was called or where it it located.

I have created a spreadsheet and wanted to originally see if I could save as a separate format (that makes it more like an application than an Excel spreadsheet). Having investigated, I found that full screen mode pretty much does what I want, however you can restore the menus by pressing ESC or selecting restore down. Is there a way of preventing users from exiting full screen mode, I could add a close application button for them to use instead.

I was working on an Excel 2003 workbook with 3 worksheets. The first sheet is the 'Menu' sheet on which I placed buttons to take me to the other two sheets and back. I wanted to hide the Excel menus, toolbars, scrollbars, etc. on the 'Menu' sheet so that no user can alter that 'Menu' sheet. The 'hiding' code was not meant to affect the other two sheets.
The code worked fine. However, when I closed the workbook and tried to open a NEW workbook so that I could do some other work, I realised that the new workbook and its accompanying sheets had the menus, toolbars, scroll bars, etc. hidden. I closed the workbook and tried opening a new workbook. It was the same experience.
I called up the file with the code, deleted all the codes attached to that file, and re-saved the file. It did not solve the problem. And when I tried many more new workbooks and got the same problem, I deleted my entire Office 2003 installation and re-installed Office 2003. It still did not solve the problem.
