Does addin support export/import of custom ribbon? #544
-
|
Title says it all really. I'm guessing the answer is no since I don't see anything in my full export. Does anyone know what would be involved? How popular are custom ribbons? I assumed they would be very popular in Access LOB apps as a way of navigating around the app. What do people use instead if anything? |

Thanks for the info. Having done a bit more research, I can see the project I have inherited is using the CommandBar approach. In my scenario it's possible to switch to the XML ribbon which will produce a better result in any case as well as being compatible with this addin. |

USysRibbons, you can simply include the table data (in XML format) in your export options. The ribbon should be restored when you build from source.If you are referring to
CommandBarmenus, such as custom shortcut menus, there is a work in progress for supporting those. Access doesn't provide a simple native export for those, butclsDbCommandBarcontains some of the groundwork for Command Bar export. Discussion #478 provides a little more context for those efforts.
