Ribbon for Addin

[NickAtNight]

Ok, so if I create a Ribbon tab - using customize ribbon for macros in an addin.

How do I make those portable so that they can be distributed with the addin ?

Oh, NOW I got it to work.

Using the sample from MSDN "Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers"

 

[NickAtNight]

and changing the sample code startfromscratch from true to false worked !

<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"> <ribbon startFromScratch="false">

<tabs>

<tab id="CustomTab" label="My Tab">

<group id="SimpleControls" label="My Group">

<button id="Button1" imageMso="HappyFace" size="large" label="Large Button" onAction="ThisWorkbook.MyMacro" />

</group>

</tab>

</tabs>

</ribbon>

</customUI>

Ok, so doing the tag this way does not show up in the Office Ribbon.

So I cannot use that Customizer to update the ribbon.

But I can create my Tabs and Tags using the customizer, then export them. Then use that exported file as the start for my CustomUI.
