Pass arguments to macros from buttons and menus using VBA in Microsoft Excel

The example below shows how you can create CommandBar buttons/menus that passes one or more arguments to a macro.
the example also shows how you can add a new item to the Cell shortcut menu.

Sub AddCommandToCellShortcutMenu()
Dim i As Integer, ctrl As CommandBarButton
    DeleteAllCustomControls ' delete the controls if they already exists
    ' create the new controls
    With Application.CommandBars(25) ' the cell shortcut menu
        ' add an ordinary commandbarbutton
        Set ctrl = .Controls.Add(msoControlButton, , , , True)
        With ctrl
            .BeginGroup = True
            .Caption = "New Menu1"
            .FaceId = 71
            .State = msoButtonUp
            .Style = msoButtonIconAndCaption
            .Tag = "TESTTAG1"
            .OnAction = "MyMacroName2"
        End With
        ' add a button that passes one string argument
        Set ctrl = .Controls.Add(msoControlButton, , , , True)
        With ctrl
            .BeginGroup = False
            .Caption = "New Menu2"
            .FaceId = 72
            .Style = msoButtonIconAndCaption
            .Tag = "TESTTAG2"
            .OnAction = "'MyMacroName2 ""New Menu2""'"
        End With
        ' add a button that passes passes one string argument
        Set ctrl = .Controls.Add(msoControlButton, , , , True)
        With ctrl
            .BeginGroup = False
            .Caption = "New Menu3"
            .FaceId = 73
            .Style = msoButtonIconAndCaption
            .Tag = "TESTTAG3"
            .OnAction = "'MyMacroName2 """ & .Caption & """'"
        End With
        ' add a button that passes two arguments, a string and an integer
        Set ctrl = .Controls.Add(msoControlButton, , , , True)
        With ctrl
            .BeginGroup = False
            .Caption = "New Menu4"
            .FaceId = 74
            .Style = msoButtonIconAndCaption
            .Tag = "TESTTAG4"
            .OnAction = "'MyMacroName3 """ & .Caption & """, 10'"
        End With
    End With
    Set ctrl = Nothing
End Sub

Sub DeleteAllCustomControls()
' delete the controls if they already exists
Dim i As Integer
    For i = 1 To 4
        DeleteCustomCommandBarControl "TESTTAG" & i
    Next i
End Sub

Private Sub DeleteCustomCommandBarControl(CustomControlTag As String)
' deletes ALL CommandBar controls with Tag = CustomControlTag
    On Error Resume Next
    Do
        Application.CommandBars.FindControl(, , CustomControlTag, False).Delete
    Loop Until Application.CommandBars.FindControl(, , _
        CustomControlTag, False) Is Nothing
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

' example macros used by the commandbar buttons
Sub MyMacroName1()
    MsgBox "The time is " & Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss")
End Sub

Sub MyMacroName2(Optional MsgBoxCaption As String = "UNKNOWN")
    MsgBox "The time is " & Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss"), , _
        "This macro was started from " &  MsgBoxCaption
End Sub

Sub MyMacroName3(MsgBoxCaption As String, DisplayValue As Integer)
    MsgBox "The time is " & Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss"), , _
        MsgBoxCaption & " " & DisplayValue
End Sub
