Manages the customized user interface elements in the product.
Quick Access Toolbars
The Quick Access toolbar is located along the top of the application window
(above or below the ribbon) and provides direct access to a defined set of
commands.
The Quick Access toolbar is always located in the same place in the program,
but different commands may be displayed on it based on the current
workspace. You can customize the Quick Access toolbar by
■ Creating Quick Access toolbars under the Customizations In <file name>
pane and then adding the Quick Access toolbar to a workspace under the
Workspace Contents pane in the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor.
■ Adding commands directly to the Quick Access toolbar from the ribbon
or when the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor is displayed. You can
also remove commands when the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor
is displayed or not.
Customizing a Quick Access toolbar is similar to customizing a ribbon panel
or toolbar. You can add, remove, and reposition commands and controls to
tailor the user interface element to the way you work. You can also add
drop-downs and separators to group and organize related commands.
Once a Quick Access toolbar has been defined, it can be displayed in the
application window by assigning it to the Quick Access Toolbar node of a
workspace under the Workspace Contents pane. For more information about
assigning a Quick Access toolbar to a workspace, see
To display a Quick Access
toolbar
on page 362.
NOTE You can add controls to a Quick Access toolbar. The controls you can add
are listed under Ribbon Controls in the drop-down list under the Command List
pane.
