Add-In Question #2

[MartinLiss]

An Add-In that I have written creates a toolbar that contains several buttons. I'd like to put a seperator bar between two of the buttons. How do I do that?

Sorry this is not an answer to your post, but I remembered that you were enquiring about books on the subject, and I was told about this book.

Developing Visual Basic Add-ins
by Steven Roman
ISBN 156925270

You may be aware of this book already, however, I thought I'd let you know, as it might be useful to you.

Best of luck

Thanks. I recently bought a copy and it's good, and while it covers a lot of ground there are several areas where more information would be helpful.

Just add another button where you want the separator and change its type to 3-tbrSeparator

Thanks (again), but this time I think you are thinking about an application toolbar, whereas my question refers to a VB IDE toolbar created by an Add-In with code like this:

Private cbCraftAddIn As Office.CommandBar

Private cbcSetTemplates As Office.CommandBarControl

Set cbcSetTemplates = cbCraftAddIn.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
cbcSetTemplates.FaceId = 2628
cbcSetTemplates.ToolTipText = "Set Templates"

I recently found the answer to this problem. all I need to add is

cbcSetTemplates.Begingroup = True
