Application.CustomMenus property (Visio)

Gets a UIObject object that represents the current custom menus and accelerators of an Application object. Read-only.

Note

Starting with Visio 2010, the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface (UI) replaced the previous system of layered menus, toolbars, and task panes. VBA objects and members that you used to customize the user interface in previous versions of Visio are still available in Visio, but they function differently.

Syntax

expression.CustomMenus

expression A variable that represents an Application object.

Return value

UIObject

Remarks

If Microsoft Visio menus and accelerators have not been customized, either programmatically, by a Visio solution, or in the user interface, the CustomMenus property returns Nothing.

Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to get the currently active user interface (UI) for your document without replacing the application-level custom UI. You must write additional code to add your custom UI items.

 
Sub CustomMenus_Example() 
 
 Dim vsoUIObject As Visio.UIObject 
 
 'Check whether there are custom menus bound to the document. 
 If ThisDocument.CustomMenus Is Nothing Then 
 
 'If not, check whether there are custom menus bound to the application. 
 If Visio.Application.CustomMenus Is Nothing Then 
 
 'If not, use the Visio built-in menus. 
 Set vsoUIObject = Visio.Application.BuiltInMenus 
 MsgBox "Using Built-In Menus", 0 
 
 Else 
 
 'If there are existing Visio application-level custom menus, use them. 
 Set vsoUIObject = Visio.Application.CustomMenus 
 MsgBox "Using Custom Menus", 0 
 
 End If 
 
 Else 
 
 'Use the existing custom menus. 
 Set vsoUIObject = ThisDocument.CustomMenus 
 MsgBox "Using Custom Menus", 0 
 
 End If 
 
End Sub
