Examples

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; 
}

Remarks

The IRibbonExtensibility interface has a single method, GetCustomUI.

Methods

GetCustomUI(String)

Loads the XML markup, either from an XML customization file or from XML markup embedded in the procedure, that customizes the Ribbon user interface.
