PPT2000: Macro Recorder Doesn't Record Code Moving Command Bars

• Microsoft PowerPoint 2000

SYMPTOMS

If you record a macro to move a command bar to a specific location, the macro recorder does not record any commands. However, you can record commands to turn on, turn off, remove, or add a command bar.

CAUSE

When you record a macro, the macro recorder attempts to analyze the actions and then create the equivalent Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications code. The CommandBar object is a portion of the Microsoft Office object model. PowerPoint does not record code for objects that are not a part of the PowerPoint object model.

RESOLUTION

In PowerPoint, all of the toolbars (Standard, Formatting, Drawing, and so forth) in the object model, are part of the CommandBars and CommandBarControls collections. Using the Visual Basic Editor, you can write Visual Basic for Applications code to control the behavior of the CommandBars.

For more information about the CommandBar object, click the Office Assistant in the Visual Basic Editor, type CommandBar click Search, and then click to view Using command bars.

NOTE: If the Assistant is hidden, click the Office Assistant button on the Standard toolbar.
