Hello!
In short: I would like to create Excel Ribbon Editor for Windows using VBA. Doeas it make sense? :)

I found two types of excel ribbon editors:


  1. Editors such as Office RibbonX Editor (famous Ron de Bruin site). This editor just help user to change add own xml ribbon file to excel file
  2. Editors like RibbonCreator 2016 (www.ribboncreator2016.de/). This editor is WYSIWYG type and also saves xml into excel file

I would like to create simpler version of the second one editor but release it with a freeware license (RibbonCreator 2016 is a paid one software).
I am not a programmer, just Excel and VBA user, therefore I will use VBA instead of other language. This would be a project to build my MS Excel portfolio and to learn myself how to create xlm files and save them to the excel files.
I have two questions: Is there any freeware solution to building own ribbon without much knowledge for user? Do you think this project could be rational or pointless (if senseless - why)? Thank you in advance!
