VBA Enable Shortcut Menu Bar?

See this link:

Not sure it that article mentions it, but ... when you are in the Customize mode (dialog) ... if you hold down the Control key, you can drop and drag (ie, copy) menu items from one place to another ... handy for making a new menu that is similar another one.

mx

the property of the form called

"Shortcut Menu"

if that is set to No then u cannot use right click
and if set to Yes then u can

so set that property to yes then set  your menu bar in the form

Also:

From the menu:
View>>Toolbars>Customize
On the Toolbars tab, check off 'Shortcut Menus

A menu bar will appear in the upper right ... showing all custom right click menus.

Thanks for the insights - but maybe I'm not getting my point across.

Just trying to get the "right click" standard shortcut menu bar to appear -

Not a custom menu, the standard menu.

Appears in all other application, just not access.

I thought it was related to the code I typed above.

Ideas?

mx -

have you done this?

Not a the moment, but I have in the past.
All of my toolbars / menus are fine ... and all are customized also.

The explosion on the screen is a work of art!

Now I just have to figure out which is which . . .

explosion ?

fireworks?

mx

LOL

thotovec ... what happened?  menu bar R US ??

I tried this earlier today - which is why I asked if you've done it before.

Every menu and tool bar in Access is now open on the screen.

Its strangely appealing.

But, you can just simply close the ones you don't want, right?


Did you get back what you needed?  Big bang for the buck, right, lol?

mx

>>Its strangely appealing. Cascade them!! ROTF!!

VERY big bang -

And yes - got everything back - 43 tool or command bars at last count!

So, thanks?  I guess?

Still trying to figure out which groups are the shortcut menu bar on the right mouse click!

"Still trying to figure out which groups are the shortcut menu bar on the right mouse click!"

This:

From the menu:

On the Toolbars tab, check off 'Shortcut Menus

Every thing else are menus and toolbars ...

Well, I can definitely say I don't want to go down this path again!

The code I wrote at the beginning of the thread turns off EVERY POSSIBLE "bar" - menu bars, tool bars, custom bars, "hidden" bars, shortcut bars, you name it.

So after the reversal of the code (thanks dmx) - and the subsequent explosion of bars on my screen - I went thru and detailed which were tool bars (View -> Tool Bars -> Customize).  If you were wondering, Access has 33 tool bars - I will post the list in a second.

The ONE bar that was never visible - the ONLY ONE I was looking for - was the SHORTCUT MENUS TOOL BAR.

The only way I found to get to it back was thru Tools -> Startup and check "Allow Default Shortcut Menus".

So thanks everyone for the suggestions - and I will never touch another tool bar again.
