Ribbon Interface

[Jaafar Tribak]

Hi.

Can anyone suggest a good online resource for learning the new Ribbon Interface from scratch and how it is programmed with VBA ?

Thanks.

Hi Jaafar,

I've used MSDN (there are 3 pages), Ron de Bruin's page, and Andy Pope's utility. I also used this once, from XL-Dennis:

I would recommend the book:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/RibbonX-Cus...1112/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1301788076&sr=8-1
There is also a version available for 'Kindle'.
As for a web site, have a look at:

Juan, Derek.

Thank you both for answering my question. I'll take a look at the suggested links .

Hi Jaafar

Ken Puls, one of the authors of RibbonX, has his own website and blog that might be helpful. Have a look here.

Thanks Jon. That looks like a nice source of information as well.

Jaafar,

Another source is http://www.ribboncreator.de/en/

A dowloadable utility that lets you create small ribbons via a GUI. I've used it to go behind the scenes and understand how to use the callbacks.

Hi all,

I am trying to get started with this Ribbon interface at last.

I downloaded the Custom UI Editor and am trying to add a simple cutom tab to the Ribbon via the CUI Editor but when I press the Validate icon i receive the error message : " UnKnown Namespace "http://shemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui".
Custom UI XML namespace must be "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui".

When I change the name space to the one suggested the error doesn't occur when I press the Validate icon and save. However, when I open the workbook there is no custom tab . Note that I inserted " Excel-A Custom Tab" from the Sample XML under the Insert menu of the CUI Editor.

1- Why does the namespace error message happen and what does it really mean ?

2- What do you think I am doing wrong as the custom tab is not created when I open the workbook ?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

I am using office 2007 under WIN 7 - I ran all windows updates prior to doing the above.
