Custom Menu Bar

Jul 21, 2005

I asked a similar question some time ago, but the answer I got didn't help out a whole lot. Maybe someone else could help me out here. I have a split db which resides on our server. This will soon be joined with MySQL so that multiple users can log on simultaneously. I have created a custom menu bar with the only buttons that I want my users to have. So far the only person that has the buttons I chose on their screen is me, everyone else has more than what I specify. Is there a way that all of my users will have the buttons that I specify? Can this be done with code? Any help would be appreciated.

I have a custom menu on my db, but when another user logs on they have the same toolbar buttons and the same menu but more items that I have originally added. Is there a way to fix this?

Using Custom Menu Bar Commands

Jun 7, 2005

Hi all,
I was wondering if you could use custom menu bar commands to open reports and varying the recordsource of the reports according to which command you choose. For instance, if the user wants to view a report for January, he clicks on the January menu bar button. And I do not wish to use macros as there might be many macros to use.

Was looking at it and I am able to use my own vb functions but was wondering if I could use the tag field under the customise menu bar command to specify which records to filter to?

Maybe I should just use a form with all the code behind. lol... :p

Add A Button To A Custom Menu

May 7, 2007

I can't believe I haven't come across this problem before, but I want to add a button to a custom menu I've created. When clicked, this button will run some code I've written.

It may be that I'm losing it (no comments, please :D ) but I can't work out how to add a button that will run code of my choosing, as opposed to just opening a report, opening a form, etc.

Any suggestions?

Custom Tool/Menu Bar Added

May 25, 2005

Hey..

I'm having a rather strange problem that no one can fix, apparently. My teacher is even baffled :S.

Basically, I created a custom menu bar, took off some of the defaults, but now I am having a problem. I deleted the original custom menu bar and now I am posed with the following error when my database is loaded (I am using an autoexec script that opens the switchboard).

Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks a lot, again, guys :).

Custom Menu Bar / Toolbar With Images

Mar 12, 2006

I have created a menu bar in access 2003 and I have spent the last couple of hours designing icons in photoshop, however, when i come to import these icons to use on the menu bar I can't see anywhere to do so, only a button editor that isn't much use to me.

Is it not possible to import icons in this way (like you can for command buttons on forms)?

Thanks for any help

Dimming (not Disabling) Items In Custom Menu

Jun 2, 2006

I'd like to create a custom toolbar that has links to subforms and dims the links (subforms) that have no data in them.

Catalog
Postcard
Letter
Bulletin

This would mean that there is data in the "Postcard", but not on the other subforms. Even though the others are dimmed, I want them to be active so that they can have data entered if needed.

Suggestions?

Modules & VBA :: Creating A Custom Shortcut Menu

Jun 5, 2014

I'm working to put together a shortcut menu for a form that will be viewed as a datasheet. I'm trying to put together the vba to create the menu. I'd like a lot of the standard options i.e. sort a-z, filter toggle etc. I'd also like to add the menu option that is displayed in the default menu called "Text Filters". I've been unable to find the id code for that option, and since it, when chosen opens another menu, I'm not real sure how to code it. Here is what I have so far:

Sub CreateWIPShortcutMenu()
Dim cmbRightClick As Office.CommandBar
Dim cmbControl As Office.CommandBarControl
' Create the shortcut menu.
Set cmbRightClick = CommandBars.Add("cmdWIP", msoBarPopup, False, True)

[code]....

Forms :: How To Create Custom Menu Options In 2010

Sep 15, 2014

How to create custom menus in Forms in MS ACcess 2010. For example, I have a form fmrMainMenu. At the top of the form I want to create a menu labelled "Reports" that when clicked or hovered it displays a list of sub-menu options of all the Reports available in the database. Once the user makes a selection the report is generated. The functionality that I am looking for is similar to the old menu options like File, Edit, etc., in MS Office.

Modules & VBA :: Custom Tool Bar / Menu Handling In 2010?

Jun 23, 2014

I know that ever since 2007 custom menus are not well supported as in 2003. From what I've read, outside to using 2003 to make changes, a person can create/update the menus using Commandbars in VBA.

Some coding to use Commandbars to create/update menus/toolbars for Access 2007/2010? It seems possible to do that, although I would expect it would be a lot of work. I've seen a few one-off examples to do specific updates, but so far nothing that would approach what was available in 2003.

Modules & VBA :: Creating Custom CommandBarControl Objects For A Shortcut Menu?

Aug 16, 2013

I finally got tired of having 100 macros managing my different custom shortcut menus, and decided to figure out how to generate the shortcut menus programatically (because lets be honest, Macros are the devil.)

I found a good tutorial here : [URL] .....

and was able to create some basic shortcut menus like the following:

Code:
Sub CreateCopyShortcutMenu()
Dim cmbshortcutmenu As Office.CommandBar
Set cmbshortcutmenu = CommandBars.Add("CopyShortcutMenu", _
msoBarPopup, False, False)
'ID 19 adds copy command
cmbshortcutmenu.Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, Id:=19
End Sub

Nice and simple, now I have a copy command. But the problem is that I also need some custom commands. Most (possibly all?) of these would be function calls.

Forms :: Command Bars Custom Shortcut Menu - Font Color Picker

May 15, 2014

I am currently in the process of creating a pop-up menu to allow my users to do some simple text formatting.I have used the following code to do so:

Code:

Dim cmbShortcutMenu As Office.CommandBar
' Create the new pop-up menu instance
Set cmbShortcutMenu = CommandBars.Add("popupFormatMenu", msoBarPopup, False, True)
' Add the bold button

[code]....

The problem is that I now want to add the FontColor picker control and I keep getting an error.I think the problem lies in the type of control I want to add. According to the Microsoft support files I downloaded the fontColor control is of type Gallery and ID = 11949, so the code should look something like this:

Code:
cmbShortcutMenu.Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, id:=11949

I need to replace msoControlButton with something else.

"Filter For:" On Custom Menu Bar?

Apr 24, 2006

I'm not sure if anyone has come across this but here goes:

I'm creating a custom shortcut menu in which I'd like to maintain some of the filter functionality that comes with the standard Access shortcut menu. The customize menu window allows me options for "Filter By Selection", "Filter Excluding Selection", and "Remove Filter/Sort", but I do not see the menuitem "Filter For:" as an option (of course the one that I would most like to have).

Anyone that can point me in the right direction or know a work-around?

Thanks,
Jeff

Drop Down Menu Inside Drop Down Menu

May 15, 2006

Ok, This is something I have long wanted to do, but cannot figure out.

I am working on a database for a company that orders a large number of Items. I have these all in one table (itemCode, itemDescription, price, categoryCode, etc). I have another table with categorys (categoryCode, categoryDescription) . Each Item is asigned a categoryCode and the appropiate relationship exsists. Right now I have a comboBox in a form that when selected opens a drops down menu with all the Items. Then another one auto loads up (continuous form) and I get the same drop down list of all the Items.

What I would like to have is a combo box then when it is selected shows the categorys, then based on that selection, I see all the Items that are in that category.

I guess another way of saying this simply is, I would like to create a drop down menu inside of a dropdown menu.

Is this possible? Does anyone have another alternative suggestion that might work well? I'm relectant to use a list box, becoase ideally it would be a drop down menu inside of a drop down menu as seen on many websites.

Thanks in Advance!

:)

I could not find Menu design in Access...Is it available during design time?
When I searched for it I found AddMenuItem to programatically add menu...
I vaguely remember seeing menu design in VB 3.0 7 years ago...I am looking for something similiar..

This probably the simplest and stupidest question..please excuse me for that.

Thanks
