Hi Karthick,

You can position your tab so that it is shown before the Home tab, set InsertBeforeIdMso="HomeTab".

Preserve the IRibbonUI provided in the OnRibbonLoaded event of the module and call IRibbonUI.ActivateTab(ADXRibbonTab.Id). This will work in Office 2010 only; the Office 2007 Ribbon doesn't support this.

Hi Karthick,

You need to create a variable of the IRibbonUI type on the class level and assaign it the value supplied in the OnRibbonLoaded event. Then you call IRibbonUI.ActivateTab(ADXRibbonTab.Id) in the AddinStartupComplete event.
