I use VBA to recreate my right click menu on a work book created in 2019.

At the time I used this piece of code to reset the menu when I swapped between books and another similar when i swapped back

VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_WindowDeactivate(ByVal Wn As Window)
'resets right click menu when worksheet is not in focus
    Application.CommandBars("Cell").Reset
End Sub

Am I right in saying this is no longer required? it seems each new book has a completely independent menu


Not sure what is going on.

It seems the windowdeactivate is required so I can swap to a different book, but I have completely removed this code and it still works....
But I don't understand why.


VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_WindowActivate(ByVal Wn As Window)
'Sets right click menu when worksheet comes into focus
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Application.CommandBars("Cell").Reset
For Each Item In Application.CommandBars("Cell").Controls
    Item.Delete
Next Item

    With Application.CommandBars("Cell").Controls.Add(Temporary:=True)
        .Caption = "Main Update"
        .Style = msoButtonCaption
        .OnAction = "Main_Update"
    End With
   
    With Application.CommandBars("Cell").Controls.Add(Temporary:=True)
        .BeginGroup = True
        .Caption = "Expedite"
        .Style = msoButtonCaption
        .OnAction = "expedite_report"
    End With

'...Lots more repeated....

End Sub
