To add custom ribbon tab with the existing custom ribbon tab

Question

Hi,

-I have created a custom ribbon tab and added button controls in to it. Now i need to add some more button controls with the existing tab that i already added.

-For that i need to check that already a custom ribbon tab s existing or not.

-Please do reply with the sample code.

Lots of thanks in advance.

 

 

Answer 1

How did you added the Ribbon in SP 2007? without know how you made that i think will be hard to understand what you want...

 

Kind regards,

Hi Roi,

-I had look on your post.

-Thanks for your reply, But my requirement is something different i.e i already i created an custom tab with buttons and i deployed in my server by using its wsp file. Now i want to add some more custom buttons in to the same tab, by creating and deploying another wsp file in to the server.

Answer 6

Old post, but ran into the same problem myself, the solution is:

You need to specify the location to be: Ribbon.STab.SGroup.Controls._children

(Not the group id).

In your new wsp project:

<CommandUIDefinition Location="Ribbon.STab.SGroup.Controls._children" >
    <Button Id="NewButton" />
</CommandUIDefinition>

Definition in your old wsp project:

<Group Id="Ribbon.STab.SGroup" >
       <Controls Id="Ribbon.STab.SGroup.Controls" />
</Group>
