Example

This example creates a command bar named “Custom”, adds three buttons to it, and then uses the ActionControl property and the Tag property to determine which command bar button was last clicked.

Visual Basic for Applications
  Set myBar = CommandBars _
    .Add(Name:="Custom", Position:=msoBarTop, _
    Temporary:=True)
Set buttonOne = myBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
With buttonOne
    .FaceId = 133
    .Tag = "RightArrow"
    .OnAction = "whichButton"
End With
Set buttonTwo = myBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
With buttonTwo
    .FaceId = 134
    .Tag = "UpArrow"
    .OnAction = "whichButton"
End With
Set buttonThree = myBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
With buttonThree
    .FaceId = 135
    .Tag = "DownArrow"
    .OnAction = "whichButton"
End With
myBar.Visible = True

The following subroutine responds to the OnAction method and determines which command bar button was last clicked.

Visual Basic for Applications
  Sub whichButton()
Select Case CommandBars.ActionControl.Tag
    Case "RightArrow"
        MsgBox ("Right Arrow button clicked.")
    Case "UpArrow"
        MsgBox ("Up Arrow button clicked.")
    Case "DownArrow"
        MsgBox ("Down Arrow button clicked.")
End Select
End Sub
