    RibbonX Custom Dropdown Not Firing

    I've created a custom Ribbon tab with several working Command buttons, etc. using Ken Puls info and Andy Pope's editor.

    I have a Dropdown control that is very finicky and I'm not sure what is wrong. I modeled it after Ron deBruin's DD example setup and it works some of the time and others, doesn't respond at all.
    Here is the code:

    It is the code in the Case-Select of ddFactbook which is not being triggered. I've tested running the individual procedures outside of this Dropdown setup and they work just fine.

    This is an image of the Tab showing the list of possible selections:Factbook to use.png

    Suggestions?

    Thanks in advance,
    Delain

    I say this optimistically . . . One day I'll understand it.
    But today is not that day!

    I prefer to Use Ribbonx with Callbacks, and think better to save as an Excel Addin vs a Persoanl WP.

    Take a look at the attached and see if helps. You may be able to swap in your code for each call back. Or upload a sample file and we can take a look.

    Re: RibbonX Custom Dropdown Not Firing

    Thank you for pitching in here.

    My custom menu is indeed in an XLAM file which is where all of my Callbacks and the code for RibbonX, and the problem code I sent, is located. The called procedures which are in the Case-Select section (Run "Personal.xlsb!factbook2017") are located in my Personal.xlsb file. What is frustrating with this is, I have another DropDown setup, exactly like the Factbook setup and it works every time. This Factbook setup is very finicky and has now stopped working all together.

    Okay, I'm missing something very simple with your example. Where is the XML code that defines how the Home tab is modified and populates the Dropdown?

    Thank you,
    Delain

    Sorry for the bother. I was trying to open your XML portion as a CustomUI14. Now, when I simply use the 2007(?) to open in the Ribbon editor, I can see your very simple code setup.

    Thank you for this. I will consider possibly changing mine. Would still be good if I could figure out why Ron's setup, which I've adapted, is not working here as I posted.

    Still looking for a suggestion.

    Thank you,
    Delain

    The XML code for the menu will not be inside the VBA. If you google RibbonX you will find the easiest way is to use a small program called CustomUI Editor to create your own menu info. You could also go the 'hard' route and open the excel file with WinZip, 7zip and navigate to the customui folder and xml data.

    I have all of my RibbonX, call backs and macros all in my Addin file. There should really be no need to have a separate Persanal.xlsb file.

    EDIT. I think you will find the CustomUI Editor program much easier to work with than AndyPope's Editor.
