Hi,

I am trying to add a new menu in Powerpoint.

I have created a new adxCommandBar and set the position to 'adxMsoBarMenuBar'. In both Powerpoint XP and 2003, the plugin fires an exception 'The parameter is incorrect' on startup.

Any suggestions?

Hi Chris,

Are you going to completely replace the standard menu bar with your own? Or do you need to add just one menu item?

Hi Chris,

To do this:
- add a new TadxCommandBar component to your add-in module and set its CommandBarName property to 'Menu Bar'
- add a new TadxCommandBarPopup component to the Controls collection of this TadxCommandBar and set its OfficeID property to 30002 (the ID of the File menu item)
- add a new TadxCommandBarButton component you need to the popup's Controls collection

That's it.

This tool will probably be useful for you:

Argh!

It works in XP but NOT 2003. In addition, there are no buttons on my other toolbars (see previous thread).

I am using Delphi 5, Build 228 and MSO 2003 (SP1)
