Description<br />

Create a Ribbon Panel<br />

Tag that uniquely identifies a panel.<br />

Example<br />

ID_PanelDraw<br />

Ribbon panels can be created from scratch or from an existing toolbar or<br />

dashboard panel. Create ribbon panels from scratch under the Ribbon Panels<br />

node on the <strong>Customization</strong>s In pane of the Customize tab. This<br />

gives you control over which commands are displayed on the ribbon panel.<br />

If you have an existing toolbar or dashboard panel from a previous release,<br />

you can create a new ribbon panel from them. Copy toolbars to a ribbon panel<br />

from the Toolbars node under the <strong>Customization</strong>s In pane on the<br />

Customize or Transfer tabs. Dashboard panels can only be copied to ribbon<br />

panels from the Dashboard Panels node on the Transfer tab.<br />

Display Ribbon Panels on the Ribbon<br />

The display of ribbon panels is controlled with ribbon tabs. Once a ribbon tab<br />

is defined, the ribbon tab can be added to a workspace, which controls which<br />

ribbon tabs are displayed and the order in which they are displayed on the<br />

ribbon. For more information about ribbon tabs, see Ribbon Tabs on page 180<br />

under Customize User Interface Elements on page 139.<br />

Associating Tool Palette Group with a Ribbon Panel<br />

You can associate a tool palette group with a ribbon panel. By associating a<br />

tool palette group to a ribbon panel you can quickly access additional tools<br />

that are related to a ribbon panel and are defined on a tool palette. The<br />

association of a tool palette group to a ribbon panel is done from the ribbon.<br />

For more information about tool palettes and tool palette groups, see<br />
