Hello Excel Masters
This is my first question on Mr Excel I hope You can Help me
I am new to VBA and I whenever I come across a new code I try to simplify before learning
one of the things I do is I remove all With - End With and replace them with the original line so I can better understand the code
While I was learning how to do popup menus I found the below code that is working perfectly

Code:
[COLOR=#3366CC]Sub PopUpMenu()[/COLOR]    
    
    With Application.CommandBars.Add(Name:="Pop1", Position:=msoBarPopup, _
                                     MenuBar:=False, Temporary:=True)

        
        With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
            .Caption = "Button 1"
            .FaceId = 71
            .OnAction = msgbox ("Yahooooo, It worked")
        End With

   End With
End Sub

As usual I tried to remove all the With and replace it with the Original Line so my code was like this

Rich (BB code):
Rich (BB code):
Sub PopUpMenu()
 
    Application.CommandBars.Add(Name:="Pop1", Position:=msoBarPopup, MenuBar:=False, Temporary:=True).Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton).Caption = "Button 1"
    Application.CommandBars.Add(Name:="Pop1", Position:=msoBarPopup, MenuBar:=False, Temporary:=True).Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton).FaceId = 71
    Application.CommandBars.Add(Name:="Pop1", Position:=msoBarPopup, MenuBar:=False, Temporary:=True).Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton).OnAction = MsgBox("Yahooooo, It worked")


 End Sub

but I always get the error : Run-time error '5': Invalid Procedure call or argument.
I know it's a weird question but I always learnt like this and I am going mad trying to figure out the problem with this

Thanks in advance

 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
Hi welcome to Forum

Nothing wrong with your With Statement but what you have done is place a call for a MsgBox againsts the OnAction line which is why getting the error.

- you would call a procedure as shown below:

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub PopUpMenu()
    
    With Application.CommandBars.Add(Name:=Mname, Position:=msoBarPopup, _
                                     MenuBar:=False, Temporary:=True)


        With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
            .Caption = "Button 1"
            .FaceId = 71
            .OnAction = "mymacro"
        End With
   End With
End Sub


Rich (BB code):
Private Sub mymacro()
    MsgBox ("Yahooooo, It worked")
End Sub


Have a read here:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg987030(v=office.14).aspx

which is where I suspect you may have taken the code from for further guidance with your project.
