Remarks

AddCustomBar allows custom commandbars created with the CreateCommandBar method to be added to the commandbars.

In the code below, CreateCommandBar uses the CXTPFloatingPopupBar class to create a floating popup toolbar that looks exactly like an expanded menu, i.e., the File menu when expanded.

Dim FileMenuBar As CommandBar  
Set FileMenuBar = CommandBars.CreateCommandBar("CXTPFloatingPopupBar")  
CommandBars.AddCustomBar FileMenuBar, "File Menu", xtpBarFloating  

With FileMenuBar  
    AddButton .Controls, xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_NEW  
    AddButton .Controls, xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_OPEN  
    AddButton .Controls, xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_CLOSE  
    AddButton .Controls, xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_SAVE  
    AddButton .Controls, xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_PRINT, True  
    AddButton .Controls, xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_PRINT_SETUP  
    AddButton .Controls, xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_EXIT, True  
End With
