Question Ribbon customization (1 Viewer)

[AliyuKatsina]

I have created a custom ribbon using the following XML

<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon startFromScratch="true">
<tabs>
<tab id="tabMain" label="Pension Commands">
<group id="grpGeneral" label="General">
<button idMso="FileBackupDatabase" label="Back up Program" enabled="true"/>
</group>
<group id="grpPensionersMatters" label="Pensioners Matters">
<button id="btnNP" label="Enter New Pensioner" onAction="MnPenMatNewPensioners" size="normal"
imageMso="HappyFace" supertip="Click to add a new Pensioner."/>
<button id="btnCP" label="Confirm New Pensioner" onAction="MnPenMatComfirmNP" size="normal"
imageMso="AppointmentColor10" supertip="Click to Comfirm new Pensioner."/>
<button id="btnAP" label="Approve New Pensioner" onAction="MnPenMatApproveNP" size="normal"
imageMso="AcceptInvitation" supertip="Click to Approve new Pensioner."/>
<button id="btnDP" label="DeActivate Pensioner" onAction="MnPenMatDeactivate" size="normal"
imageMso="DeclineInvitation" supertip="Click to Remove Dead Pensioner."/>
</group>
</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
</customUI>

The question is the build-in file back up button doesn't appear in the general tab, can anybody figure why?

I also want to disable some of the buttons depending on who logged on. Can somebody show me how?

Have to learn to use the attributes gets (getVisible, getEnabled, getlabel ,...)


This site has an article and video teaching how to use the attributes gets.

Thanks Avelino, the site solved my problem. The only issue is can you figure why this xml line is not showing the file back up control?
<button idMso = "FileBackupDatabase" size ="large"/>
Thanks once again.

I had a similar problem a while ago like this. A solution was to do a 'visible=true'. Weird, but it works.

It really worked! I think microsoft should look at that in their future updates. Thanks
