http://www.microsoft.com/support/supportnet/refguide/default.aspThe following sample code makes all selected toolbars visible within an OLE container created in Microsoft Visual Basic. Note: This example assumes you have already created a form in Microsoft Visual Basic and:
Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim tbar As Object Dim iPrevBarPos As Integer OLE1.Action = 7 ' Starts in-place activation for the object within the OLE container. Set tBar = OLE1.object ' Loop through each command bar to determine its visible attribute. For Each cBAr In tBar.CommandBars ' If the command bar should be visible... If cBar.Visible Then ' Make the command bar visible. ' NOTE: The Position property only works with the ' msoBarFloating constant in Visual Basic using in-place ' activation. All the other toolbar constants ' (msoBarTop, msoBarBottom, and so on) will not display the ' toolbar. Because of this, the toolbars cannot be docked ' within the OLE container. cBar.Position = msoBarFloating ' Sets the height of the specified command bar in pixels. cBar.Height = 25 ' Sets the distance (in pixels) from the top edge of the ' specified command bar to the top edge of the screen. cBar.Top = iPrevBarPos + cBar.Height ' Get the top position of this bar to apply to height of next ' bar, so the command bars are stacked and not layered. iPrevBarPos = cBar.Top ' Sets the distance (in pixels) from the left edge of the ' specified command bar to the left edge of the screen. cBar.Left = 1 End If Next End Sub REFERENCESFor more information about getting help with Visual Basic for Applications, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
