Ribbon Tabs
Ribbon tabs control the display and order in which ribbon panels are displayed
on the ribbon. You add ribbon tabs to a workspace to control which ribbon
tabs are displayed on the ribbon.
Ribbon tabs do not contain any commands or controls like a ribbon panel
does; instead, they manage the display of ribbon panels on the ribbon. Once
a ribbon tab is created, you can then add references to any of the ribbon panels
from the Panels node under the Ribbon node in the Customizations In <file
name> pane to the ribbon tab. After references to ribbon panels are added to
a ribbon tab, you can control the initial display order in which ribbon panels
appear on a ribbon tab from the ribbon tab’s node in the Customizations In
<file name> pane.
NOTE Newly created ribbon tabs are not automatically added to a workspace.
To display a new ribbon tab on the ribbon, select the workspace in which you
want the ribbon tab to be displayed with and then use the Workspace Contents
pane to add it to the workspace. For information on adding a ribbon tab to a
workspace, see
To display ribbon tabs from the CUI Editor on page 369.
In the Workspace Contents pane, you add and remove ribbon tabs from the
ribbon, which is controlled by the current workspace. Once a ribbon tab has
been added to a workspace, you can control the order in which the tab is
displayed on the ribbon by expanding the Ribbon Tabs node under the
Workspace Contents pane.
From the Workspace Contents pane, you can control the default display of
ribbon tabs and panels; this allows you to keep the associations of ribbon tabs
and panels with a workspace, but turn it off. You can also control the tool
palette group associated with a ribbon tab, and the collapse behavior, resize
order, and orientation of a ribbon panel from the Workspace Contents pane.
