When you press "=" and enter formula mode, I've noticed that many of the controls in the toolbar/commandbar become disabled. Some however, like copy/paste or sum, are still enabled.

I have a custom commandbar, which includes a dropdown box, that I'd like to be able to use while in formula mode. The commandbar itself isn't disabled when in formula mode, but clicking on it never causes the macro behind it to be run despite the properties changing (i.e. you can select another option in the dropdown box but the macro doesn't get called). Is there something I'm missing? How can I get the macro to be run while in this mode?

Thanks in advance!
