Outlook 2003 toolbar customization: add/edit button list

Question

I have macros in my VbaProject.OTM file. A new toolbar is created when Outlook is launched to allow users to easily run the macros.

(sorry about the interface being in French ;-))

I would like users to be able to customize the toolbar by removing some of its buttons or adding them back. Here is the customization panel:

All my macros are there (all the public Sub()s in modules). However, the macro names and icons aren't really user friendly. I'm looking for a way to change both the icons and names. I'm actually using default FaceIds for my toolbar buttons (but I will add some custom icons in the future too). Also, if there would be a way for some public Sub()s to not me showed there, it would be perfect. Or to add a whole category instead of the Macros category.

When searching through the Web, all I can find is how to add toolbar buttons (which is already done in my example). Does anyone have any idea on how to edit the names/icons in the toolbar Customization panel? Is it possible?

Answer 1

I suggest built-in dialog boxes cannot be modified with VBA.

Try adding a permanent button "Add/delete buttons" to the toolbar, to launch a userform to choose the specific macros you want users to work with. You could then use a better name and other text to describe the macros in your own listbox.
