Hello

Can someone please suggest a code snippit that can create a new memu item in Microsoft Excel 2007,'s top/main menu?

Thanks

You can't do that in C++. Microsoft Office Applications do not use the ordinary menu we see in other windows-based program.

Thanks. But I don't think that is True.

You can create menu in Excel using Excel SDK that is used for creating EXcel-Add-ins.

The issue is that from Excel 2007 onwards the menu that you create doesn't go to top. It gets created as a Submenu under Add-Ins. What I want is to move it to the top.

Thanks @ozstylo. But this is about 6 years article and I am beyond that. I know how to create an Excel Add-In in C++ and I also know to create a menu in Excel before Excel 2007. My issue is that I am unable to do so in the same old manner in Excel 2007/2010.
