    Ribbon - Gallery - Label

    Two Questions

    1) Does any one know Why this bit of XML does not give the expected results - It continues to displays the Label 

    <gallery idMso="ControlsGallery" showLabel="false"/>

    2) How Do you add a Group Button to a Toolbar on a Custom Tab

     

    TIA

    Sam

    Hi Sam,

     

    It reports that some built-in items can not be changed. Closes I could get was to set the label to space.

                        <gallery idMso="ControlsGallery" label=" " />

     

    What do you mean exactly by Group Button?

    Hi Andy...

    Yes I did the same thing...

    Group Button : - Example on the Home Tab you have for Example "Clipboard" group - If You right Click and say Add to QAT - It is reduced to a single Group control button...

    I want to add a built in group control to a Toolbar on a Custom Tab

    That looks like a built-in option.

    I think the best you can have is a gallery or menu.

    I will double check the ribbonx manually tomorrow as post back.

    I had no luck finding anything that would allow a group to be an item in a dropdown list.

    Re: Ribbon - Gallery - Label

    So couple of more limitations of the great Ribbon

    1. Gallery Lables cant be set to False

    2. Groups can be added only to the QAT and not to custom tab
