Hi Carlos, Thanks for your great article. I have the same need for a CommandBarButton, which is not of CommandBarPopup type, i.e. I could first find the "File" menu using your cast, but then I can not find a localized menu item such as "New Project". Any idea? Rgds

It will be difficult because buttons lack a Name, they only have a (localized) Caption. They have an ID property that maybe is unique...
