The use of CommandBars in some Microsoft Office applications has been superseded by the new ribbon component of the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface.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.

expression A variable that represents a CommandBarControl object.
Return value

Example
To avoid duplicate calls of the same class when triggered with events, define the Tag property unique to the events. The following example demonstrates this concept with two modules.
Public WithEvents oBtn As CommandBarButton
Private Sub oBtn_click(ByVal ctrl As Office.CommandBarButton, CancelDefault As Boolean)
MsgBox "Clicked " & ctrl.Caption
End Sub
Dim oBtns As New Collection
Sub Use_Tag()
Dim oEvt As CBtnEvent
Set oBtns = Nothing
For i = 1 To 5
Set oEvt = New CBtnEvent
Set oEvt.oBtn = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls.Add(msoControlButton)
With oEvt.oBtn
.Caption = "Btn" & i
.Style = msoButtonCaption
.Tag = "Hello" & i
End With
oBtns.Add oEvt
Next
End Sub
This example sets the tag for the button on the custom command bar to Spelling Button and displays the tag in a message box.
CommandBars("Custom").Controls(1).Tag = "Spelling Button"
MsgBox (CommandBars("Custom").Controls(1).Tag)
