Is it possible to hide a (user created) Ribbon Tab at runtime?

Hi, Andrei

I am working on an add-in with 4 Ribbon Tabs.

In order not to overcrowd the Ribbon, and reduce confusion, I'd like to keep only 1 tab visible, and the others hidden until the user clicks a button (in the visible tab). This button will display all the hidden Ribbon Tabs. Another button will hide all the other ribbon tabs.

Can this be done?

Could you briefly explain what code to use?

Thanks
Leon

Hello Leon,

In the Click event of that button, you write: Me.MyOtherTab.Visible = True. (In C#, replace "Me" --> "this").
