The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Add button to docked toolbar on Word document open

Asked by BarryTice in Microsoft Office Suite

Tags: add, faceid

I've added a macro to a Word template, and have the following code in place to access it:

==== BEGIN PASTE ====
Sub AutoNew()

Dim myBar As CommandBar
Dim myControl As CommandBarButton
Dim cmd As CommandBar
 
For Each cmd In CommandBars
    If cmd.name = "BarryToolbar" Then
        CommandBars("BarryToolbar").Visible = True
        Exit Sub
    End If
Next

Set myBar = CommandBars.Add( _
        name:="BarryToolbar", _
        Position:=msoBarPopup, _
        menubar:=True, _
        Temporary:=True)

Set myControl = CommandBars("BarryToolbar").Controls.Add( _
        Type:=msoControlButton, _
        Before:=1)

With myControl
    .OnAction = "SubroutineToCall"
    .FaceId = 0
    .Caption = "Perform Barry's Action"
    .TooltipText = "Click the button to perform Barry's action"
    .DescriptionText = "PerformBarry'sAction"
    .Style = msoButtonCaption
End With

CommandBars("BarryToolbar").Visible = True

End Sub
===== END PASTE =====

This does a great job of creating a floating toolbar with one button on it, and the button works great when clicked. But if the first thing the user does is close the floating toolbar to get it out of the way, they have to know to go to the View -> Toolbars menu to get it back. Many of my users aren't that quick.

What can I do to get the toolbar to appear not as a floater, but docked, up with the other docked toolbars, at the top?

I've tried setting the myBar.Position to msoBarTop (and left, and bottom, and right), but nothing seems to change where it appears -- as a floater somewhere over my document.

Any assistance would be most appreciated.
