Answer 6

Hi Hassan,

You can create a new ribbon tab or group on powerpoint and set some ribbon components to express your animations in theory. If you want to do that I would recommend you use Ribbonxml to approach your goal.

Hi Hassan,

This is a sample of Ribbonxml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui" onLoad="Ribbon_Load">
  <ribbon>
    <tabs>
      <tab id="NewAnimationTab" label="MyAnimation">
        <group id="MyPreview"
               label="Preview">
          <splitButton idMso="AnimationPreviewMenu" size="large"/>
        </group>
        <group id="MyCustomize" label="My Advanced Animation">
          <gallery idMso="AnimationAddGallery" size="large"/>
          <toggleButton idMso="AnimationCustom"/>
          <menu idMso="AnimationTriggerAddMenu"/>
          <control idMso ="AnimationPainter"/>
        </group>
        <group id="MyAnimations" label="My Animation">
          <gallery idMso="AnimationGallery" />
          <menu idMso="EffectOptionsMenu" size="large"/>
        </group>
      </tab>
      <tab idMso="TabAnimations" visible="false"/>
    </tabs>
  </ribbon>
</customUI>

This comes form a Powerpoint add-in, in this add-in we create a ribbon via ribbon xml.

It replace some control in customized tab you can complete it via reference the http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6627.

Have a good day,

Tom

Answer 10

Hi Hassan,

I'm wondering that you use Ribbon (Visual Designer) to create ribbon class. It has limitation on your issue. We can't set idMso for the ribbon components under this way. You need create a Ribbon via Ribbon (XML) in you project and use the xml content which I shown to you.

Have a good day,

Tom
