You cannot enable or disable a built-in menu command. However, you can
create a macro that gives a built-in menu command the appearance of being
disabled.
The sample macro in this article makes the built-in
Exit command on the
File menu appear disabled. This macro performs the following steps:
- The built-in menu command location is saved.
- The built-in menu command is deleted.
- A custom menu command with the same caption and index is added to the menu.
- The custom menu command is disabled.
Sample Macro
Sub Disable_Builtin_MenuItem()
Dim i
Dim x
With MenuBars(xlWorksheet).Menus("File").MenuItems("Exit")
i = .Index 'Save the position of the built-in menu command.
.Delete 'Delete the built-in menu command.
End With
'Add a custom menu command with the same caption and index as the
'built-in menu command that you deleted.
Set x = MenuBars(xlWorksheet).Menus("File").MenuItems.Add _
(Caption:="Exit", before:=i)
x.Enabled = False
End Sub
Resetting the Menu That Is Changed by the Sample Macro
To reset the entire menu to the default values, run the following macro:
Sub ResetMenubar()
MenuBars(xlWorksheet).Reset
End Sub
: There is not a way to reset a single menu or menu command.
