Visual Lisp and Menu's.

Using Stigs coding as a template, I've written the follow routine that creates a Toolbar menu. Please ensure that the toolbar bitmap files are within your AutoCAD support path before loading and running this application.
Oh, by the way, you can find the VBA version of this application here. 

(defun C:VBATOOLBARMENU (/ fn acadobj thisdoc menus flag currMenuGroup

             "VBA Load" "VBA Load" openMacro
           )
    )

    (createToolbar)
    (princ "\nThe Vba Toolbar Menu is already loaded")
  )
  (princ)

(princ)
      

Your "VbaToolbarMenu.mns", should look like this :

//
// AutoCAD menu file - D:\drawings\VbaToolbarMenu.mns

***MENUGROUP=VbaToolbarMenu

**VBA_MENU

Your Toolbar should look like this :
