CommandBar.Context property (Office)

  • Article

Gets or sets a string that determines where a command bar will be saved. The string is defined and interpreted by the application. Read/write.

Note

The use of CommandBars in some Microsoft Office applications has been superseded by the new ribbon component of the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface. For more information, see Overview of the Office Fluent ribbon.

Syntax

expression.Context

expression A variable that represents a CommandBar object.

Remarks

You can set the Context property only for custom command bars. This property will fail if the application doesn't recognize the context string, or if the application doesn't support changing context strings programmatically.

Example

This example displays a message box containing the context string for the command bar named "Custom". This example works in Microsoft Word and other applications that support the Context property.

Set myBar = CommandBars _ 
    .Add(Name:="Custom", Position:=msoBarTop, _ 
    Temporary:=True) 
With myBar 
    .Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, ID:=2 
    .Visible = True  
End With 
MsgBox (myBar.Context)
