RE: change the ribbon menu
Hello Dave,
Could you please clarify what you mean about the ribbon menu? I have the
following two assumptions now. If what you are referring to is different
from my assumptions, please let me know.
1.The Office Menu appears after clicking the Office button at the left top
corner in the Office application. If that is the case, we can create the
ribbon.xml file as the follows to customize that menu. To create a new
control, we use the id attribute while using idMso attribute to identify
the built-in control. We can get the detailed walkthrough in this MSDN
document, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa434078.aspx
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customUI onLoad="Ribbon_Load"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon>
<officeMenu>
<button id="button1" label="button1" />
<control idMso ="FileSave" enabled ="false"/>
</officeMenu>
</ribbon>
</customUI>
2.The context menu when right clicking the ribbon. It has three default
menu items: "Customize Quick Access Toolbar", "Show Quick Access Toolbar
below the Ribbon", "Minimize the Ribbon". If that is the case, personally
speaking, I do not think this can be achieved in managed Office Add-in
since this context menu is not exposed in the Office Object Model. I follow
this article http://blogs.msdn.com/guowu/archive/2004/09/06/225963.aspx to
iterate through all controls and command bars in Word. But this context
menu does not appear in them. If this is your requirement, I will consult
the product team about it to see if anyone has some other trick approach
for this. Look forward your reply.
Have a good day!

Re: change the ribbon menu
Hi;
Sorry, when my AddIn starts it calls
public string GetCustomUI(string ribbonId)
and I give it the ribbon for my AddIn to place as one of the main tabs
on the ribbon across the top of the app.
How can I change that menu? In other words, give it a new xml file for
my AddIn's menu?
thanks - dave

Re: change the ribbon menu
Hello Dave,
Thanks for clarifying about this, so based on my understanding, we are
trying to change the ribbon UI dynamically by specifying another ribbon xml
file, right?
Far from my researching, I did not find any way to unload and reload the
ribbon customization xml file dynamically. If we want to unload and reload
the ribbon, at least we have to unload and reload our Add-in. Supposed that
we choose this way to go, I think another Add-in should be necessary to
control our Add-in's loading and unloading. But that is too bad. Thus,
based on your requirement, may I suggest we use the following workaround
instead?
We can put both of the two tabs in the same customization xml file. We
define the getVisible callback function for these tabs. Whenever we want to
show/hide a tab, we call ribbon.Invalidate. So the getVisible callback will
be called, and we get chance to set the table's visible there.
Here are codes work on my side,
customUI.xml,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customUI onLoad="Ribbon_Load"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon>
<tabs>
<tab id="tab1" label="tab1" getVisible ="GetVisible" >
<group id="group1" label="group1">
<button id="button1" label="button1" />
</group>
</tab>
<tab id="tab2" label="tab2" getVisible ="GetVisible">
<group id="group2" label="group2">
<button id="button2" label="button2" />
</group>
</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
</customUI>
and the shared add in codes,
public IRibbonUI ribbon;
private Word.Application applicationObject;
private object addInInstance;
private string visibleTab;
public string GetCustomUI(string RibbonID)
{
using (StreamReader resourceReader = new
StreamReader(@"D:\customUI.xml"))
{
if (resourceReader != null)
{
return resourceReader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
return null;
}
public void Ribbon_Load(IRibbonUI ribbonUI)
{
visibleTab = "tab1";
this.ribbon = ribbonUI;
}
public bool GetVisible(IRibbonControl control)
{
if (control.Id == visibleTab)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
public void OnConnection(object application,
Extensibility.ext_ConnectMode connectMode,
object addInInst, ref System.Array custom)
{
applicationObject = application as Word.Application;
addInInstance = addInInst;
applicationObject.WindowSize += new
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationEvents4_WindowSizeEventHandler(appl
icationObject_WindowSize);
}
void applicationObject_WindowSize(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document
Doc, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Window Wn)
{
if (visibleTab == "tab1")
{
visibleTab = "tab2";
}
else
{
visibleTab = "tab1";
}
this.ribbon.Invalidate();
}
I use the Application.WindowSize event as a trigger to switch between tab1
and tab2 in the above codes. Please let me know if this suggestion works
for your scenario. Any future questions, please feel free to post and I
will do my best to help.
