If you are trying to find a popup menu, i.e. File, Edt, View, etc...the designer does not assign an ID to these controls, you will need tomake sure you click on the popup control and fill in a constant for theID.  To do this, you will need to go to CommandBars->ResourceSymbols... and click on the "New" button to create a constant to assignto the popup.  Then in your FindControl code you can search forthis constant.

 "Another one: I want to activate the popup-menu on a commandbar from my code."
 
    Dim cmd As CommandBarPopup
    Set cmd = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.FindControl(, ID_FILE, , True)
    cmd.Execute

In the above code, I added the constant ID_FILE using the method described above int he designer.

Thank you but that did not help.

I have made the menu in CommandBarsDesigner and I am using those ID's that is generated there.

This code will return the object on normal toolbars:
Commandbars.FindControl(  , ID_CUT , , ' )

This code will return nothing on menubar:
Commandbars.ActiveMenuBar.FindControl(  , MNU_OPENFILE  ,  , True )

Yes, I am sure that the MNU_OPENFILE number is correct.

Best Regards,
Trond

Read this post, it should answer your queations:
https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=607&P N=1

Basically, to find a control in the Activemenubar you must set therecursive flag to True in the ActiveMenuBar.FindControl method. 

To find a popup control you must manually set the id of the control soyou can find it.  even if you specify an id when the popup controlis created you must still set the id property of the control.

Hope this helps

I can successfully disable and enable toolbar buttons on a commandbar, but I am not able to disable and enable menu-items on toolbar.

What is the correct syntax?

Another one: I want to activate the popup-menu on a commandbar from my code.

Thank you,
Trond
