Display Ribbon Tabs from a Partial CUIx File
When you load ribbon tabs from a partial CUIx file, you can use the Workspace
Behavior property to control how ribbon tabs that might share the same alias
in the main and partial CUIx files are handled. The Add Tab Only option
displays each ribbon tab that is loaded with a workspace as its own tab. While
Merge Tab Only displays the ribbon tabs from a partial CUIx file with those
that have a matching alias in the main CUIx file. The Merge or Add Tab option
merges the tab before a new tab is created on the ribbon.
To create a ribbon tab
1 Click Manage tab ➤ Customization panel ➤ User Interface.
2 In the Customize User Interface Editor, Customize tab, in the
Customizations In pane, click the plus sign (+) next to Ribbon
to expand it.
3 Right-click Tabs and click New Tab.
A new ribbon tab (named New Tab) is placed at the bottom of the Tabs
node.
4 Right-click New Tab. Click Rename. Enter a new name for the ribbon tab.
5 Select the new ribbon tab in the tree view, and update the Properties
pane:
■ In the Display Text box, enter a text string that will appear on the
ribbon tab.
■ In the Contextual Display Type box, specify how the ribbon tab should
be displayed on the ribbon when used with a contextual ribbon tab
state.
■ In the Default Display box, specify if the ribbon tab should be
displayed by default when the CUIx file is loaded as a partial
customization file.
