Button Properties

[Chuck Bowling]

I want to be able to change the properties of a toolbar button depending on
the current state the document is in.

For instance, when the user clicks on a button i want it's state (and its
appearance) to change, and other controls to be enabled or disabled on the
toolbar. This would be easy with button events but i have no idea how to
find the name of a custom macro button on a custom toolbar...

Another thing, is it possible to place a spinbutton or other control on a
Word toolbar?

Use FindControl() function of the commandbar object to identify
commandbarcontrols

Below statement counters the caption of a control of the Menu bar commandbar
of the commandbarcontrol bearing ID number 30002:

? CommandBars("Menu Bar").FindControl(, 30002).Caption
&File

Once you've identified them, you can toggle the Enabled property or
change other properties.
