With BaseExtensions we are able to choose a tab in the ribbon and bring selection to this. Typically, this means bringing the client's custom ribbon tab into selection whenever their templates are opened. Default for MS Office is opening with the Home tab selected.
Module
XML
<Cmd case="BaseExtensions:activate-tabq" id="CommonTabID" ns="CommonNameSpace"/>Parameters
id and ns
Refers to the TabID and NameSpace values as found in the RibbonConfig.xml-file of the Alloy configuration folder, typically located here:
\ProgramData\OfficeExtensions\Common\Configuration
Example
If Client has Templafy, RibbonConfig.xml will look like this:
XML
<Replaces>
<PowerPoint>
<NameSpace>http://schemas.templafy.com/2017/7/addins</NameSpace>
<TabID>TabTemplafy</TabID>
<ContextTabID>contextTabID</ContextTabID>
<ContextGroupID>ContextGroupID</ContextGroupID>
<ChartLabel>CorporateCharts</ChartLabel>
<ShowContextChart>false</ShowContextChart>
<TableLabel>CorporateTables</TableLabel>
<ShowContextTable>false</ShowContextTable>
</PowerPoint>
</Replaces>And module should look like this:
XML
<Cmd case="BaseExtensions:activate-tabq" id="TabTemplafy" ns="http://schemas.templafy.com/2017/7/addins"/>Was this article helpful?
