My tailormade Ribbon XML failed to load in parts or completely.

There can be various reasons.

  1. Ribbon Creator can only process XML files generated by RibbonCreator 2016/2019.


    • RibbonCreator 2019 uses pre-fixes to display controls.

    btn = Button
    tgb = ToggleButton
    lbl = Label
    cbx = Checkbox
    ddc = DropdownControl
    sep = Separator
    ebx = EditBox
    gbt = ButtonGroups
    mnu = Menu Control
    sbt = SplitButton
    gal = Gallery
    cmb = ComboBox
    dym = dynamicMenu

    • The "Tag" attribute is used to load information (user-defined pictures, defaults).

    • There are "<- Comments lines ->" used to finish controls / control groups which have to remain present.


  2. Ribbon XML must be well-formed. (Try to open the file using Internet Explorer.)
