IRibbonExtensibility interface
Office 2013 and later
The interface through which the Ribbon user interface (UI) communicates with a COM add-in to customize the UI.
Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Core
Assembly: office (in office.dll)
In the following example, written in C#, the IRibbonExtensibility interface is specified in the class definition. The procedure then implements the interfaces's only method, GetCustomUI. This method creates an instance of a SteamReader object that reads in the customized markup stored in an external XML file.
public class Connect : Object, Extensibility.IDTExtensibility2, IRibbonExtensibility ... public string GetCustomUI(string RibbonID) { StreamReader customUIReader = new System.IO.StreamReader("C:\\RibbonXSampleCS\\customUI.xml"); string customUIData = customUIReader.ReadToEnd(); return customUIData; }
