Control the Display of the Quick Access Toolbar
The Quick Access toolbar that is displayed on the application window is
controlled by the current workspace. While a workspace does not directly
control which commands are displayed on the Quick Access toolbar, it does
control which Quick Access toolbar in the loaded CUIx files is displayed. For
information about creating and editing Quick Access toolbars, see
Quick Access
Toolbars
on page 194.
Control the Display of Ribbon Tabs and Panels on the Ribbon
The display and order of ribbon tabs and panels on the ribbon are controlled
through workspaces. You add and specify the order of ribbon tabs and their
associated panels in the Workspace Contents pane. You add ribbon panels to
a ribbon tab through the Customizations In <file name> pane.
After you assign ribbon tabs to a workspace, you can control the default display
and behavior of both ribbon tabs and panels through the Properties pane.
From the Properties pane, you can set the Tool Palette Group for a ribbon tab
and orientation and resize order for a ribbon panel. For information about
creating and editing ribbon content, see
Ribbon on page 201 under Customize
User Interface Elements
on page 192.
Control the Display of Toolbars
You can control which toolbars are displayed and how they are positioned in
the application window (if they are floating or docked, and where they are in
the application window). You add the toolbars through the Workspace
Contents pane, and control the appearance of the toolbars in the Properties
pane. For information about creating and editing toolbars, see
Toolbars on
page 248 under
Customize User Interface Elements on page 192.
Control the Display of Menus on the Menu Bar
Menus and the order in which they are displayed on the menu bar can only
be controlled through the Workspace Contents pane. By default the menu
bar is not displayed when the ribbon is. Set the system variable MENUBAR to
1 to display the menu bar above the ribbon. You can also set the Menu Bar
property for a workspace to On to display the menu bar each time a workspace
is set current. For information about creating and editing pull-down menus,
see
Pull-down and Shortcut Menus on page 270 under Customize User Interface
Elements
on page 192.
