Hide "Customize Quick Access Toolbar" Button

Hello,

will be added for 10.4

Hi,

Hi Waescher,

See my post here for a solution (at least until we hear about/get an official solution):

You are free to use/modify the DLL and Source Code any way you please.

Hi Oleg,

    This is true, but in mine and Waescher's case, we would like to show a non-customizable QuickAccess bar, and then the context menu is misleading to the user.
    I have tried setting all of the various customizable & context menu properties to false (i.e. .EnableCustomization for the parent CommandBar, and .Customizable & .ContextMenuPresent for the RibbonBar), but the context menu always seems to appear on right-click.
    The only solution I have found is to subclass the RibbonBar window and consume the WM_RBUTTONDOWN/UP messages.

No problem Waescher, glad to help!

I put this code together fairly quickly last night (when I encountered the problem myself), so if you notice any problems, please feel free to email me. My email address is in the source code.

Hi Waleed,

    What problems are you having? Are you getting an error message? Make sure that you are opening the VBG file (Project Group) instead of the VBP (Project) file.
    The test form shows you what you need to do to get the subclass setup (see the Form_Load event).

Hi Waleed,

    I'm at a bit of a loss as to why you are getting that error message. Usually that only occurs when you are making an ActiveX EXE or DLL, but the test project included is a standard EXE.

    If you are try to use the included DLL in your own project (although I recommend you experiment with a test project first), you will need to register the DLL.

1) First copy the CommandBarBehaviours.dll file to your Windows system folder (i.e. C:\Windows\System32)
2) Register it from the Start button > Run command (or press Windows key + R) with the following command line:

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\CommandBarBehaviours.dll

(Note, if your Windows sytems folder path is different, then change it in the line above)

3) Launch VB6 and open your project. You will now need to reference the DLL for your project from the Project menu > References sub-menu (note that the name of the class is CmdBarBehaviours).

Because I created the DLL class as a GlobalMultiUse class, you do not need to instantiate it any further - just reference the now global properties. If you don't like this behaviour, I recommend you recompile the DLL with the CmdBarBehaviour class Instancing property set to MultiUse. You would then have to initialize an instance of the class in your main project code.

I developed the code with CommandBars 10.4, and I just tested it with 11.1 and everything seems to be working here. The code was intended as proof of concept rather than I finalized product, so maybe I will give another kick at it to make it more user friendly.

Hi Waleed,

These errors typically occur if the class instancing has been set to Private and/or the included DLL has not been registered properyl. Try the following:

1) Make sure that the CommandBarBehaviours class in the CmdBarBehaviours project has its instancing property set to GlobalMultiUse
2) Make sure that you have registered the CmdBarBehaviours.dll file (using regsvr32, or by adding a reference to the TestProject from the Project menu > References sub-menu).
3) If it still doesn't work, perhaps you can start a new project, then add the CmdBarBehaviours reference to your project from the Project menu > References sub-menu.

Other than that, I'm not sure what could be going wrong. Are you using Windows Vista perhaps? I've only tested the code with Windows XP.
