MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / June 2005disable toolbar selection
I have a protected form for which I display customized toolbars. How can I disable the user from being able to right click in the menu bar area and selecting other toolbars to display? If macros are active, you can use AutoNew and AutoOpen macros to disable the other toolbars. i.e. Application.CommandBars("Formatting").Enabled = False However, this is extreme and you need a way to reenable the ones you disable when your document is closed because this setting is application-wide rather than document or template specific. You could customize the other toolbars in your template so that they don't have any commands or buttons, I suppose. That, at least, can be made template-specific.

Thanks -- I do have application events associated with this template so if I disabled all the toolbars (such as standard, formatting, etc.), I could restore them when the user opens another instance of Word or switches to a document which is not my protected form. Just curious, however, is there a way to prevent the user from being able to right-click in the menu bar area? > If macros are active, you can use AutoNew and AutoOpen macros to disable the > other toolbars.

AFAIK the only way to prevent the user from right-clicking in the menu area to get the toolbars is to tie his/her hands behind the back so that the mouse is not used when the screen is in view. This could probably be defeated by mirrors, though. <g> OTOH most users don't know that they can right-click to get toolbars.
