The code can work. Just figure out. But you must change a bit here and there. This is how it goes.
Just change the ActiveForm.Handle().ToInt32() to Me.Handle().ToInt32()
Then the rest of the code put in a single module. Any more problem. Feel free to email me. Hope that helps. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
hwnd in the declare should be a type intptr not an integer then you dont have to change Me.Handle.toInt32() (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

DeleteMenu() API would work too. But if you plan to reverse the process, RemoveMenu() should be used. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
