Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to add a menu and menu item to the user interface, and then replace the built-in menu set with the custom set.

To restore the Microsoft Visio built-in user interface after you run this macro, call the ThisDocument.ClearCustomMenus method.
