Hi all! For some reason I cannot figure our why my CommandBar buttons aren't working. I'm pretty certain that it has something to do with the Item.Key part, but I just cannot figure out what to put in place of that bit. Any ideas?

Sub InitCommandBar() Dim mnuMain As CommandbarLib.CommandBarMenuBar Dim mnuFile As CommandbarLib.Item Dim mnuEdit As CommandbarLib.Item Set mnuMain = CommandBar1.Controls.Add(cbrMenuBar, "MainMenu") 'add File menu items Set mnuFile = mnuMain.Items.Add(1, "mnuFile", "File") mnuFile.SubItems.Add , "mnuBackup", "Backup DB" mnuFile.SubItems.Add , "mnuExit", "Exit" 'add Help menu items Set mnuEdit = mnuMain.Items.Add(2, "mnuHelp", "Help") mnuEdit.SubItems.Add , "mnuAbout", "About" End Sub Private Sub CommandBar1_ButtonClick(ByVal Button As CommandbarLib.CommandBarButton) Select Case Item.Key Case "mnuBackup" 'Add mnuBackup procedure code here. Case "mnuExit" App.End Case "mnuAbout" 'Add mnuAbout procedure code here. End Select End Sub

After a quick glance, assuming CommandBar1 is defined in the UI code, you have not got a valid stack scope reference for what "Item" is. I am assuming your intention is to look at the Id reference of the button? In which case

Select Case Item.Key

Needs to be
Select Case Button.ID
It is likely that you are using the wrong event though and mixing code samples. I'd guess that it is not CommandBar1_ButtonClick you want but:

Private Sub CommandBar1_MenuClick(ByVal Item As CommandbarLib.Item) Select Case Item.Key Case "mnuBackup" 'Add mnuBackup procedure code here. Case "mnuExit" App.End Case "mnuAbout" 'Add mnuAbout procedure code here. End Select End Sub
Which will put Item into scope.

Making something interesting?

The CommandBar control is very confusing (and buggy ).
@C:Amie is right, you need the MenuClick event here instead of the ButtonClick event, that one is used for toolbar buttons.

Everything else is looking good!

Thank you C:Amie, that works flawlessly!
I'm making a little project management software for myself (just a database and forms and checklists), though it's pretty janky

Sounds good
I hope when the time comes you'll share some screenshots - and perhaps share it with the community one day .

Sure, would you be interested? I was already thinking it'd be a good to share the project with the community since I'm not the most well-versed with development Especially the way I'm doing the database is pretty janky

I'm sure that I and the community can help you with any problems you might be having, and offer a few tips if any are needed. It sounds as though you are getting pretty adapt though, if you are playing with ADO and the system database drivers

I would certainly love to see some screenshots of what you've come up with so far!
