The following example creates a command bar with a CommandBarComboBox control containing four selections. The combo box responds to user interaction through the CommandBarComboBox_Change event.
Private ctlComboBoxHandler As New ComboBoxHandler
Sub AddComboBox()
Set HostApp = Application
Dim newBar As Office.CommandBar
Set newBar = HostApp.CommandBars.Add(Name:="Test CommandBar", Temporary:=True)
Dim newCombo As Office.CommandBarComboBox
Set newCombo = newBar.Controls.Add(msoControlComboBox)
With newCombo
.AddItem "First Class", 1
.AddItem "Business Class", 2
.AddItem "Coach Class", 3
.AddItem "Standby", 4
.DropDownLines = 5
.DropDownWidth = 75
.ListHeaderCount = 0
End With
ctlComboBoxHandler.SyncBox newCombo
newBar.Visible = True
End Sub
The preceding example relies on the following code, which is stored in a class module in the VBA project.
Private WithEvents ComboBoxEvent As Office.CommandBarComboBox
Public Sub SyncBox(box As Office.CommandBarComboBox)
Set ComboBoxEvent = box
If Not box Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Synced " & box.Caption & " ComboBox events."
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Class_Terminate()
Set ComboBoxEvent = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub ComboBoxEvent_Change(ByVal Ctrl As Office.CommandBarComboBox)
Dim stComboText As String
stComboText = Ctrl.Text
Select Case stComboText
Case "First Class"
FirstClass
Case "Business Class"
BusinessClass
Case "Coach Class"
CoachClass
Case "Standby"
Standby
End Select
End Sub
Private Sub FirstClass()
MsgBox "You selected First Class reservations"
End Sub
Private Sub BusinessClass()
MsgBox "You selected Business Class reservations"
End Sub
Private Sub CoachClass()
MsgBox "You selected Coach Class reservations"
End Sub
Private Sub Standby()
MsgBox "You chose to fly standby"
End Sub
