Hide Add-in in Custom Ribbon Option

Hello,

In Excel Options menu (2010-2016), customize ribbon, I can see my add-in is listed there to customize. Can I hide it so it doesn't appear in there ?

Regards
Albert

Hello Albert,

Set ADXRibbonTab.Shared = true on your tab and no one (including you) will not be able to customize it. To use this setting, you may also need to set a string to the ADXAddinModule.Namespace property. Find more details about these properties in section Sharing Ribbon controls across multiple add-ins at https://www.add-in-express.com/docs/net-ribbon-components.php#sharing-ribbon-controls.

Hello Andrei,

Sorry to reopen this case again.

In some processes, I use ribbontab.activate. Example in XL 2013 new workbook event, I use ribbontab.activate, so that the new workbook automatically goes to my addin tab. This works fine with ADXRibbonTab.Shared = false. However if I Set ADXRibbonTab.Shared = true, it no longer works. It always go to Home tab. Is this correct or is there anyway to activate the tab with shared = true ?

Regards
Albert

Hello Albert,

You cannot modify properties of a tab (or any container control) having Shared=true at the run time.

You can try to use Windows Automation or Active Accessibility to activate that tab. Not sure if this works.
