I've just moved to v2 cause you stated that the products are backward compatible.
I ahd the following code in v1 which now do not work @ all, what do i need so that i will be able to create a custom on words main 'menu bar' as i did with v1 ?
The error raised is that 'menu bar' dosen't exists and this is logical since you do not search any more that applications bar, but i need a fix on this

// Find 'menu 'Menu bar' menu bar
barName := '';
if hostType = ohaWord then
barName := 'Menu Bar'
else if hostType = ohaExcel then
barName := 'Worksheet Menu Bar';
if barName <> '' then
begin
IPopup := AddPopup(BarName, 'My bar name', 'mnu_tag', '', IsNew, -1);
AddButton(BarName, 'something', 'createpdf_mnu_tag', '', 'XXXXX', msoButtonIconAndCaption, IsNew, -1, IPopup);
end;

Ok, forgeit it, the solution was to use a call of AddCmdBar('Menu Bar') so that the word's menu bar will be included in the know bars list

Hi Nick,

Yes, you are absolutely right, the resulting code should be like this:

// Find 'menu 'Menu bar' menu bar
barName := '';
if hostType = ohaWord then
barName := 'Menu Bar'
else if hostType = ohaExcel then
barName := 'Worksheet Menu Bar';
if barName <> '' then

begin
  [B]AddCmdBar(barName, IsNew, msoBarTop, False);[/B]
  IPopup := AddPopup(BarName, 'My bar name', 'mnu_tag', '', IsNew, -1);
  AddButton(BarName, 'something', 'createpdf_mnu_tag', '', '', msoButtonIconAndCaption, IsNew, -1, IPopup);
end;

very fast reply to my problem, do i really need the call to be
AddCmdBar(barName, IsNew, msoBarTop, False);
or
AddCmdBar(barName, IsNew);
is sufficient, are theer any differences as far as regarding the functionality ?

Hi Nick,

In your case both code lines do the same, i.e. connect to a standard command bar.
