I'm using this code to load a context menu from an addin.
It works, except that when the addin is deselected, the context menu still shows.

The menu consists of msoControlButton and msoBarPopup.


WORKBOOK
VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Call cell_menu_normal
    Call cell_menu_page_break_preview
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
    Call del_cell_menu_normal
    Call del_cell_menu_page_break_preview
    Call del_popup
End Sub



VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Option Private Module

Dim context_menu As CommandBar
Dim my_menu_item As CommandBarControl
Dim my_menu_item_Popup As CommandBarPopup

Public Const my_name As String = "my_ctrl_tag"

Sub cell_menu_normal()
    Call del_cell_menu_normal 'delete controls to avoid duplicates
    Set context_menu = Application.CommandBars("Cell") 'Case 1: Normal
    'LEVEL 1
    '=======
    With context_menu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, before:=1) 'Add custom button to Cell menu
        .Caption = "Temporary"
        .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & "create_temp_popup_menu"
        .Tag = "my_ctrl_tag"
    End With
End Sub

Sub cell_menu_page_break_preview()
    Call del_cell_menu_page_break_preview
    Set context_menu = Application.CommandBars(Application.CommandBars("Cell").Index + 3) 'Case 2: Page Break Preview
    'LEVEL 1
    '=======
    With context_menu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, before:=1) 'Add custom button to Cell menu
        .Caption = "Temporary": .FaceId = 7869: .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & "create_temp_popup_menu"
        .Tag = "my_ctrl_tag"
    End With
End Sub

Sub create_temp_popup_menu()
    Call del_popup
    Call CustomPopUpMenu
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.CommandBars(my_name).ShowPopup
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Sub CustomPopUpMenu()
    With Application.CommandBars.Add(Name:=my_name, Position:=msoBarPopup, MenuBar:=False, Temporary:=True)
        'LEVEL 2
        '-------
        With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
            .Caption = "Form": .FaceId = 7974
            .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & "Form"
            .Tag = "my_ctrl_tag"
        End With
        'LEVEL 2
        '-------
        Set my_menu_item = .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup) 'PopUp (Level 2)
        With my_menu_item
            .Caption = "Range"
            'LEVEL 3
            With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
                .Caption = "Copy"
                .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & "Copy"
                .Tag = "my_ctrl_tag"
            End With
            'LEVEL 3
            With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
                .Caption = "Paste"
                .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!" & "Paste"
                .Tag = "my_ctrl_tag"
            End With
        End With
    End With
End Sub

Sub del_cell_menu_normal()
    Set context_menu = Application.CommandBars("Cell") 'Case 1: Normal
    For Each my_menu_item In context_menu.Controls
        If my_menu_item.Tag = "my_ctrl_tag" Then
            my_menu_item.Delete
        End If
    Next my_menu_item
End Sub

Sub del_cell_menu_page_break_preview()
    Set context_menu = Application.CommandBars(Application.CommandBars("Cell").Index + 3) 'Case 2: Page Break Preview
    For Each my_menu_item In context_menu.Controls
        If my_menu_item.Tag = "my_ctrl_tag" Then
            my_menu_item.Delete
        End If
    Next my_menu_item
End Sub

Sub del_popup()
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.CommandBars(my_name).Delete
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
