Using the RibbonBar Sample
there are buttons added to the File popdown menu,  eg.  ID_FILE_MYTEST

How can I "find" these controls on the popdown menu?

     CommandBars.FindControl(, ID_FILE_MYTEST) just gives error.
     so I guess CommandBars is not the correct object to use.

Run Time Error 91
Object Variable or With Block variable not set

ALSO:
If I pause program and do:
  For i = 1 to CommandBars(1).Controls.count
     Debug.Print  CommandBars(1).Controls(i).Caption
  Next

This prints out all the buttons on the RibbonBar, but NOT any of the controls on the popdown Menus.

How can I access the controls on the Menus??

Hi,
In FindControl set last parameter to True.
 
 
try this code
Debug.Print  CommandBars(1).Controls(0).CommandBars.Controls(0).Caption

This does not work.

Setting FindControl last paramter = True makes no difference.
CommandBars(1).Controls(0).    does not have property CommandBars


To see the problem, use your Ribbon MDI sample (ActiveX)
Put a Break Point somewhere in  FrmMain (eg. in mnuFileOpen_Click())

When program breaks (eg Click on File Open), go to Immediate Window and try:

   ? CommandBars(1).FindControl(, ID_FILE_MRU_FILE1, False).Caption

I get Error 91, Object not set.
Same error with    ..... (, ID_FILE_MRU_FILE1, True).Caption

But if you try:

    ? CommandBars(1).FindControl(, ID_VIEW_NORMAL, False).Caption

This works OK.


ID_FILE_MRU_FILE1 is ControlButton on PopdownMenu
ID_VIEW_NORMAL is ControlButton on RibbonTab

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Please can you tell me how to FIND  the ID_FILE_MRU_FILE1 control?

Oh, you mean the OTHER last parameter :-)

OK, now I see how to make it work.  Thankyou.
(I am not good at crossword puzzles either )
