Answer 1

Have a look here:

Face ID's

Its an addin for MS excel. Works for excel 97 and later.

Answer 2

The following Sub BarOpen() works with Excel 2010, most probably also many other versions also, and generates in the Tab "Add-Ins" a custom, temporary toolbar with drop-downs to show the FaceIDs from 1 .. 5020 in groups of 30 items.

Option Explicit

Const APP_NAME = "FaceIDs (Browser)"

' The number of icons to be displayed in a set.
Const ICON_SET = 30

Sub BarOpen()
  Dim xBar As CommandBar
  Dim xBarPop As CommandBarPopup
  Dim bCreatedNew As Boolean
  Dim n As Integer, m As Integer
  Dim k As Integer

  On Error Resume Next
  ' Try to get a reference to the 'FaceID Browser' toolbar if it exists and delete it:
  Set xBar = CommandBars(APP_NAME)
  On Error GoTo 0
  If Not xBar Is Nothing Then
    xBar.Delete
    Set xBar = Nothing
  End If

  Set xBar = CommandBars.Add(Name:=APP_NAME, Temporary:=True) ', Position:=msoBarLeft
  With xBar
    .Visible = True
    '.Width = 80
    For k = 0 To 4 ' 5 dropdowns, each for about 1000 FaceIDs
      Set xBarPop = .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup) ', Before:=1
      With xBarPop
        .BeginGroup = True
        If k = 0 Then
          .Caption = "Face IDs " & 1 + 1000 * k & " ... "
        Else
          .Caption = 1 + 1000 * k & " ... "
        End If
        n = 1
        Do
          With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup) '34 items * 30 items = 1020 faceIDs
            .Caption = 1000 * k + n & " ... " & 1000 * k + n + ICON_SET - 1
            For m = 0 To ICON_SET - 1
              With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton) '
                .Caption = "ID=" & 1000 * k + n + m
                .FaceId = 1000 * k + n + m
              End With
            Next m
          End With
          n = n + ICON_SET
        Loop While n < 1000 ' or 1020, some overlapp
      End With
    Next k
  End With 'xBar
End Sub

Modified previous answer to create numerous toolbars with sets of 10 icons. Can change code (comment/un-comment) number of toolbars (performance may be slow on slower machines)

The last icon number for Office 2013 that I could find was 25424 for OneDrive

Answer 4

I found it in this location what i`m looking at

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];Q213552

The table contain the Control and id (Face Id) used in excel. So for "Refresh" button the face id is 459, but it only work on the id less than 3 digit.

and this generator(by input start face id and end face id) then click show button faces, you get the list of icon on the range (to download it must login first)

and this for Ribbon Toolbar

Answer 5

short script writes ten (loop set for 10) FaceID's add. as entry into toolbar Tab "Add-In" and with "Benutzerdefinierte Symbolliste löschen" - you erase this add entry ( mark and right mouse click) - works with excel 2010/2013

Sub FaceIdsAusgeben()
Dim symb As CommandBar
Dim Icon As CommandBarControl
Dim i As Integer
On Error Resume Next
Set symb = Application.CommandBars.Add _
("Symbole", msoBarFloating)
For i = 1 To 10
Set Icon = symb.Controls.Add(msoControlButton)
Icon.FaceId = i
Icon.TooltipText = i
Debug.Print ("Symbole = " & i)
Next i
symb.Visible = True
End Sub

Answer 6

script provides on worksheet name of controls excel 2010/2013

Sub IDsErmitteln()
Dim crtl As CommandBarControl
Dim i As Integer
Worksheets.Add
On Error Resume Next
i = 1
For Each crtl In Application.CommandBars(1).Controls(1).Controls
Cells(i, 1).Value = crtl.Caption
Cells(i, 2).Value = crtl.ID
i = i + 1
Next crtl
End Sub
