C# .NET - How to place a ribbon in outlook 2010 at certain position.

Asked By Usman on 15-Sep-11 09:38 AM
I have placed my own ribbon in Outlook 2007 at a certain location. But when I run the code for outlook 2010 ribbon is not there where I want it like 2007. It has been placed at last position. Is there any solution for this? Language is C# and .net framework is 3.5. I m using winforms for this.

Hi,

Microsoft’s second attempt at the ribbon interface is coming in Office 2010 and this time we’ll not be stuck with Microsoft’s ribbon – you can weave your own.

Office 2007 gave us the ribbon interface but no practical way to change it. There is a complex way to alter the ribbon using XML tools but nothing for the regular customer. The result is that paying customers are stuck with a ribbon configuration that Microsoft’s thinks best.

Office 2010 gives us ribbon configuration and, at first look, they’ve done a good job. You can alter existing ribbons, add new ribbons and generally rearrange things.

The ribbon interface has been extended in Office 2010 to all the main programs, Word 2010, Excel 2010, PowerPoint 2010 and also Outlook 2010, Access 2010 and OneNote 2010. The same customization tools are available in all programs.
