Ribbons driving me crazy

[MariaC]

Hi! I´m new here and also driven crazy by ribbons... A thought about your problem - doesn't one have to close and start the database in order to make the changes in the ribbon show? Wouldn't that explain the behavior of your database?

Hi

To change the ribbon at runtime should make use of attributes getVisible, getEnabled, getLabel, ....

The following changes

Thank you, I see what you've done ... It's not exactly what I'm looking for, but it may help.

Cheers.

Sorry mate, can't understand you.

Even if I try I won't be able to

What version of Access are you using?

I'm using 2010.

 

[JamworkS]

I don't want to go control by control enabling and disabling each one of them. Now, what I want is to have a completely different XML and load it, and refresh the ribbon, is that possible?.

I'm using 2010.

Ok, I don't use 2010 so I can't help you much but I would advise you not to use LoadCustomUI (i.e. get rid of your AutoExec query too) and instead save your ribbons in a table called USysRibbons. That should work with the invalidate statement.

I believe the reason why you're getting the error is because the invalidate statement fires before the ribbon is loaded but with the USysRibbons table it should work fine.

How to set this up is explained in that link you have.

 

[JamworkS]

Well, I've tried to use the getVisible Callback, and it just won't work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, because I've copied everything I've seen and read all over the web and it just won't work, and throws an error.

I QUIT!!! I'm sick of the ribbons.

 

[vbaInet]

But you're still using the LoadCustomUI function aren't you?

 

[JamworkS]

Yes, that's the way I've seen many examples on the web. I don't know why to all of them they work, and to me, it doesn't, it's quite frustrating.

 

[vbaInet]

I take it you ignored what I said in my post #27 about using the USysRibbons table.

 

[JamworkS]

No, I didn't ignore you, I just tought I'll give it a try as I have now.

Anyways, I used the USysRibbons Table, and the same, won't update anything, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what.

I'm tired and sick of the bloody Ribbons.

Convert a copy of your database to an Access 2007 db and upload it on here. I will show how it can be done and all you have to do is change the DTD schema line and copy the code to your db.

To convert it you do:

For short, OFFICE RIBBON > SAVE AS > ACCESS 2007

VbaInet, follows the file in 2007, to help our friend.

Why did not serve my example? What's different from what you want?

You added the attribute getVisible the buttons on the ribbon? example:

<button id="TS71" label="Test1" onAction="RibbonEnabled" getVisible="fncGetVisible"/>

This using the "Invadate" or "InvalidateControl"? If you are using InvalidateControl, you should take the following care:

gobjRibbon.InvalidateControl "TS71" is different from gobjRibbon.InvalidateControl "ts71"

Show your code getVisible function, to understand what is being done.
