Using VBA to add a menu to the worksheet menu bar

Using VBA to add a menu to the worksheet menu bar

Using VBA to add a menu to the worksheet menu bar

(OP)
I want to make an add-in for Excel and therfore like to automatically add and remove a menubar if the add-in is loaded.

Can some one tell me how to add a menubar by VBA code and how to change properties like name, assigned macro and shortcut key?

Thanks in advance!

RE: Using VBA to add a menu to the worksheet menu bar

(OP)
I already figured it out. Found a clue somewhere in a book after a long search. It goes like this for the people who are interested in it.

Make 2 standard modules like here. Auto_Open automatically inputs the menu when you add the add-in by the tools menu. Auto_Close automatically deletes the button made with Auto_Open as you unload the add-in.

Sub Auto_Open()
    Dim myButton As CommandBarButton
    Set myButton = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls.Add
        myButton.Caption = "TIH FA&S"
        myButton.Tag = "Fas"
        myButton.Style = msoButtonCaption
        myButton.BeginGroup = True
        myButton.OnAction = "ShowForm"
        Index = myButton.Index
End Sub

Sub Auto_Close()
    Set myButton = CommandBars.FindControl(Type:=msoControlButton, Tag:="Fas")
    myButton.Delete
End Sub


The findcontrol returns the right button so the right button is deleted and not accidently another menu .
