Link XLA macros to XLB buttons

Posted by Feargal Tierney on December 04, 2000 4:12 AM

Hi,

I've created some macros and stored them in an XLA, when i 'add' this (as an addin) i cannot 'see' the macros contained within it. How then can i make the buttons created on my new (XLB) toolbar run portions of these macros.
As a background during development i kept all in the personal.xls book, now though i wish to deploy in a more secure method - hence using an add-in.

Any thoughts peeps would put you firmly on my christmas card list (near the top to!)

Cheers
Furg

You could assign the buttons normally to macros in the worksheet, but inside those macros place a call to your addin e.g. something like

Sub MyButton_Click
Dim iA As Integer
iA = Application.Run("MyAddin.xla!MyAddinSub", Myparameters)
End Sub
