BUG: Unloading Generic Sample Does Not Remove Custom Menu

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Excel Software Development Kit, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When the Generic sample is loaded, it adds the Generic Menu to the Microsoft Excel worksheet menu bar. When Generic is unloaded, the Generic Menu is not removed.

CAUSE

In Microsoft Excel version 5.0, you can display either version 4.0 or version 5.0 menus. Generic adds a menu to bar 1 that under Microsoft Excel version 5.0 is mapped to bar 10. When the menu from bar 1 is deleted, the corresponding menu on bar 10 is not deleted.

RESOLUTION

To delete the menu the Generic sample added to the menu bar, change the menu bar number from 1 to 10 for all menu commands.

In the xlAutoOpen function do the following: Change:


   Excel(xlfGetBar,&xTest,3,TempInt(1),TempStr(" Generic"),TempInt(0));

To:


   Excel(xlfGetBar,&xTest,3,TempInt(10),TempStr(" Generic"),TempInt(0));

Change:


   Excel(xlfAddMenu,0,3,TempNum(1),(LPXLOPER)&xMenu,TempStr(" Help"));

To:


   Excel(xlfAddMenu,0,3,TempNum(10),(LPXLOPER)&xMenu,TempStr(" Help"));

In the xlAutoClose function do the following:

Change:


   Excel(xlfGetBar, &xRes, 3, TempInt(1), TempStr(" Generic"),TempInt(0));

To:


   Excel(xlfGetBar, &xRes, 3, TempInt(10), TempStr(" Generic"),TempInt(0));

Change:


Excel(xlfDeleteMenu, 0, 2, TempNum(1), TempStr(" Generic"));

To:


Excel(xlfDeleteMenu, 0, 2, TempNum(10), TempStr(" Generic"));
