Example
This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to use the Toolbars property to get a particular object in a collection. It also shows how to get a copy of the built-in Visio toolbars, add a toolbar button, set the button icon, and replace the built-in toolbar set with the custom set.
Before running this code, replace path\filename with the full path to and name of a valid icon (.ico) file on your computer.
To restore the built-in Visio toolbars after you run this macro, call the ThisDocument.ClearCustomToolbars method.
