Microstation Connect call a ribbon from a ribbon

Hi John,

I do not understand what do you mean "to call ribbon from a ribbon". What do you want to achieve?

Anything in ribbon is "a command", linked to e.g. key-ins. So what should happen when the ribbon will be "called from ribbon"?

Check out the Ribbon key-ins. I think something like this is what you are looking for.

Hi Jan, I'm making some ribbons that will allow users not familiar with our levels and file system.  The ribbons will be used in Bentley View actually, but if I have a ribbon called main_location and another ribbon called off_sites, I'd like to be able to have a button where the user can click the "off_sites" button and open that ribbon.  Rod Wing showed me the ribbon from the key-ins window but I haven't successfully been able to "call a ribbon, from a ribbon" by clicking on the name.  Yes, the user could select from the provided dropdown built into microstation.  I simply want to provide the convenience right there, built into ribbon 1 to call ribbon 2.

Thanks Rod, but I couldn't find one that would actually call a ribbon that I'd created.

It's still not clear what do you mean by "ribbon". I guess that, by "I have a ribbon", you mean "workflow" that defines ribbon bar currently displayed in MicroStation GUI.

Translated to more precise (in my opinion) terminology and description, is it about:

• There is a button, defined in a ribbon group (and further defined by its tab and workflow).
• When the button is pressed, you want to change the workspace, so another ribbon bar definition will be displayed?
