I have several Excel workbooks that have custom Tool Bars.
In Excel 2010, they decided that custom toolbars need to be in "Add-Ins",
which, in my opinion, was a poor decision.
What I use is:
I created a macro called New_CmdBar
in which I define the toolbar (called "PMTR").
Then, in the ThisWorkbook module:
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
Dim stat
on Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("PMTR").Enabled = True
if (Err.Number <> 0) then stat = New_CmdBar(False)
Application.CommandBars("PMTR").Visible = True
Application.CommandBars("Ribbon").Enabled = True
On Error Goto 0
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
Application.CommandBars("PMTR").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("PMTR").Visible = False
End Sub
I also have:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Application.CommandBars("PMTR").Delete
End Sub
So basically, whenever the workbook is opened, it creates the new Toolbar.
When you select a different workbook, it "hides" the toolbar.
When you re-activate the workbook, it displays the toolbar, or re-creates it if
necessary.
Exiting the workbook causes the toolbar to be deleted.
The only issue with this that I've had is if I have two copies of the workbook
open.
Closing one deletes the toolbar. But I just have to minimize and maximize the
workbook to get it back.
