    excel CommandBar

    Hey,
    I' ve created a custom CommandBar in vba. It' s oriented on the left side of my excel sheet. I added different built-in icons and related them to macros.
    Is it possible to change the background colour of the CommandBar?
    It' s grey by default, but I want to change that colour.
    Thanks,
    Alex.

    I don't believe so. Perhaps by subclassing, but too much work for
    a small feature.

    Edit: I just remembered that there was a plugin for IE that would
    skin the coolbars. It was called hotbar. So maybe there is
    another way.

    subclassing

    Thanks.
    You talked about subclassing. How can I learn and do that in vba?
    I know how to program object oriented in several languages and earned my money doing that.
    Can I do subclassing in vba or is it necessary to create a new CommandBar object outside, in another environment like Visual C++?
    Thanks,
    Alex.
