I have all kinds of custom tools that are called from UI Controls stored in a document-level map document (my custom template). In earlier versions of ArcGIS these were stored in the global-level "Normal.mxt". Since this it is no longer possible to save UI controls within the Normal template in version 10 I use the above mentioned map document that has all of my VBA customization to create most of my maps within so that they may "inherit" the customization. This is a very crude solution since it created a problem with maintaining and upgrading my custom tools until i migrate to .NET.

Is there a way to load document-level customization into a map document created from a Normal.mxt template?

  • Have you tried overwriting the Normal.mxt file with your custom template? – Tim Rourke Sep 22 '10 at 22:24
  • Yes. Toolbar menu remains but UI Controls are replaced with some null items that do not have names, icons or code. – Jakub Sisak GeoGraphics Sep 23 '10 at 1:32

At 10, you have to install the ArcObjects VBA SDK to use VBA. You also have to be provisioned a license to use the VBA SDK, which is free.
