Block/Disable Custom Toolbar Items
I am currently in the process of creating a new "clean" template and I have
set up a toolbar which will provide menus, for Paragraph and characters styles, commonly used macros for formatting numbered lists and inserting fileds, creating tables plus an assortment of other items. I want to know how to display items in the toolbar, such as the style list but disable it so you can't apply styles from it. I also want to know how to disable other toolbars. how can I do this? |

Hi ?B?Um9iZXJ0IFdlcm5lcg==?=,
I want to know how to display items in the toolbar, such as the style list but disable it so you can't apply styles from it. I also want to know how to disable other toolbars. It can only be done with a macro. the basic code is along these lines: CommandBars("Formatting").Controls(1).Enabled = False Before you execute a set of commands like this, however, you do need to tell Word WHERE you want these changes to be stored. I don't imagine you want them in all your documents? Just in documents created from this template? In that case, run it with the focus in the template with CustomizationContext=ActiveDocument Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |

Loooks, good, but i something here is missing. could you give me some more
directions. I only have experience recording macros and copying macros with fine tune modifications. I'd like to script macros properly. What book would you recommend for learning how to script in visual basic?

Hi ?B?Um9iZXJ0IFdlcm5lcg==?=,
Loooks, good, but i something here is missing. could you give me some more directions. Yes, but you have to give me some guidance where you're getting stuck. I do suggest you "play" with the settings in a "throw-away" document, until things are working predictably. This kind of thing can quickly ruin a document. I only have experience recording macros and copying macros with fine tune modifications. I'd like to script macros properly. What book would you recommend for learning how to script in visual basic? Besides what Suzanne recommended, for WORD VBA (Visual Basic is something else, again), you might try to scare up the Word 97 Macro & VBA Handbook (Sybex). It's not my favorite, but if you have no previous experience, it's probably the best place to start. Also, as you progress with Word VBA, and need further help, you should post to the word.vba newsgroups.

Using the article Suzanne recommends to get started with the VBA editor and
your suggestion, I got a result with the following: CustomizationContext = ActiveDocument CommandBars("Formatting").Enabled = False CommandBars("MyCustomToolbar").Enabled = True CommandBars("MyCustomToolbar").Visible = True I'll try the book you recommend. Thanks to you both for your help "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote: Hi ?B?Um9iZXJ0IFdlcm5lcg==?=, Loooks, good, but i something here is missing. could you give me some more directions.
