Ribbons and XML-Description

Hi,

I have a VB6 COM AddIn for Outlook 2007 that implements the

IRibbonExtensibility interface.

In the XML-RibbonDescription I get the value for idMso by checking

objectClass from the activeInspector. For example if the activeInspectors

objectClass is olTask I assign the value "TabTask" to the idMso element.

<ribbon
<tabs><tab idMso="TabTask"> ....

Is it the correct approach to use the activeInspectors objectClass to get

the value for the idMso element?

Additionally I have the problem, that I do not find a list with all the

possible values for the element idMso.

From the following link I can download some excel-files. Well, I do not find

a map between objectClass (or another item) and the value for idMso.

Thanks

Are you looking for this at runtime, or are you coding your XML tags?

The lists you can download from the Office Developer Web site are complete

and that's what I use most of the time. Another way to get the idMso for a

ribbon control is to go into customize mode (Customize QAT) and hover the

mouse over a command to see the idMso.

Hi Ken,

thanks for your help!

I create my XML-Ribbon-Description on the fly. The content is always the

same excepting the value for idMso.

Changing to the customize mode helps to get the idMso values for the

controls. Well, can I get the value for tabs in the customize mode, too?

I only found the idMso values for the controls.

For the tabs you need to use the schema download (those Excel files). They

are complete.
