Greetings!

I have a workbook with a chart sheet and custom menus. The custom menus appear under the top level "Add-ins" Excel menu and are created as follows:

VBA Code:
Dim mainMenuBar As CommandBar
Dim helpMenu As Integer

Set mainMenuBar = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")
     
helpMenu = mainMenuBar.Controls("Help").Index
     
Set mainMenu = mainMenuBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, Before:=helpMenu)
    
With mainMenu
    
    .Caption = "MyMenu"
    .OnAction = "MyMenuMacro"
         
End With

This works fine, however when the chart sheet is the active sheet, the Add-ins menu does not contain the MyMenu item. You have to know to switch to a regular sheet for it to re-appear.

This is an annoyance as my menu launches macros which dynamically change the chart. Is there any way around this oddity?
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
I believe I answered my own question...there is a "Chart Menu Bar" in there as well. I'll try that one.
