Hello!

I have the following code to create the menu:

    Set ControlView = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlPopup, 1, "File", -1, False)
    With ControlView.CommandBar.Controls
        Set Control = .Add(xtpControlButton, 2, "New", -1, False)
        .Add xtpControlButton, 3, "Open", -1, False
        .Add xtpControlButton, 4, "Close", -1, False
    End With

Then, later on I would lile to change the captions of the menu. For the main menu (File) I can change teh caption using:

CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls.Item(1).Caption = "FileX"

But for it's submenus, I get "Invalid procedure call or argument" error message when I try this:
CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls.Item(2).Caption = "OpenX"

What method should I use so that I can change the captions? Also, is the solution the same for toolbars?

Thanks in advance!

Just assign an Id to each control you will search for and use it in the FindControl method:

Set ControlFile = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.FindControl(,ID_FILE_OPEN, ,True)
ControlFile.Caption = "Open File"

Thanks!

I can now change the captions of the buttons (xtpControlButton).

But how do I change the caption of type xtpControlPopup? I get "Run-time error 91 Object variable or With block not set" when I use the popup's ID for the code you gave above.

For popup control you must additional assign its ID:

Set ControlView = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls.Add(xtpControlPopup, 10, "File", -1, False)

ControlView .Id = 10
