Modifying Ribbon for an event in calendar

Question

Hello Friends,

I am trying to modify the ribbon interface for an calendar event using visual studio. When a calendar event is clicked information about the event is displayed in a form and I want to modify the ribbon in that form. So please suggest some examples and also the "Location" information in Elemets.xml

Hi

You have to create a custom action and target it to the display form of the Calendar list.

The following post has many examples to target it to the display form of a particular type of lists.

I am not sure what the registration ID for calendar events list is. Looking at the below post, i am guessing it is 106 (Events).

Hello,

Thank you for the information provided and it is really helpful for me. One more thing can you provide me the relevant control ID for <CommandUIDefinition Location="">. The ribbon button should be placed in the "Actions" group of the form displayed when the event is clicked

I am guessing Ribbon.Calendar.Event.ViewItem I would like to know is that a valid one or can some one suggest the

Chandra,

Have you looked at the list of locations in the SDK? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee537543.aspx If you search, you will find Ribbon.Calendar.Calendar.Actions group. You can use that to add/remove buttons on the ribbon. I would strongly suggest going through the topics in the SDK to learn about how to modify the ribbon. Specifically, Server ribbon XML (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff407290.aspx) and Declarative Customization of the Server Ribbon (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff407268.aspx).

Thanks,
