Hi,
I found the example to add new popup menu to one of the menus on the menu bar, but I would like to add new menu to menu bar in MS Word or MS Exlec. I assume I need to know Menu Bar's ID, but I haven't found it so far.
Edit 1: I don't know exactly how, but I did it.
I added adxCommandBar then Popup menu to its controls and set AfterID to 30010 (it's ID of Help pop-up menu).
Edit 2: I noticed that Pop-up menu's ID must be set to 1. If I changed it stayed at the menu bar, but adding buttons or any adition pop-up menus did reflect in Word unless I changed ID back to 1.
PS. Why do I have to set CommndBarName of adxCommandBar to Menu Bar. If not it still works, but then I have additional floating menu.

Hi Artur.
Please use the 'Built-in Controls Scanner' tool to learn about all names of Office command bars and IDs of its controls.

I noticed that Pop-up menu's ID must be set to 1. If I changed it stayed at the menu bar, but adding buttons or any adition pop-up menus did reflect in Word unless I changed ID back to 1.
If you want to add a custom control, the ID of the control should be set to 1. But if you need a built-in control, you should use an appropriate ID of the built-in control. If you switch between built-in and custom controls without unregistering the add-in, you will have to remove remaining controls manually via the Customize dialog in the host application.
Why do I have to set CommndBarName of adxCommandBar to Menu Bar. If not it still works, but then I have additional floating menu.
The 'Menu Bar' is the name of the built-in command bar.

Thanks for the replay.
I used 'Built-in Controls Scanner' and learn ID of buttons from Menu Bar, but there was no ID for Menu Bar itself so that's the reason I got a little confused. But now I think I understand how to add menus to Menu Bar. |
