toolbar customization

[inge]

Hello,

I have added a custom menu-item to the menubar. To this custom menu I have
added a number of options that are linked to macro's.
The macro's are also linked to a keyboard shortcut.

For the Word default menu-items the shortcut is displayed on the right side
of the item. This is not the case for customized shortcuts.
Does any one know whether I can make these shortcuts visible? Typing the
shortcut behind the name of the toolbar item is not helpfull, the alignment
goes wrong then.

Hi Inge,

CommandBars("yourToolbar").Controls("yourControl").ShortcutText = "Alt+<"

Shortcuts you define aren't added automatically (as you already noticed),
and Word doesn't make sure you enter a valid keyboard shortcut.

If you don't get the line above working, you could also set it from the
macro that's run.

Put this line in the macro
CommandBars.ActionControl.ShortcutText = "Gotcha"
and click on the button once so the macro is run.
The ShortcutText will have been set, and you can delete or comment out the
line.

Regards,
Klaus

Hi Klaus,

Thanks a lot. This is exactly what I was looking for and could not find.
