CE - Quick Access bar Edit

HiAll

I have imported my V8i Pull Down menus into the CE Quick Access toolbar.  Although I am not impressed with their location, they do work.  However, I now need to edit some.  

Within the Customize Ribbon dialog, I can see the QA tools, I can drill down to my sub level commands etc..  in V8i these menu items had a series of commands that i join together via the keyins and loaded up vba commands etc.  In V8i I could edit these very easy.

however, once they are imported into CE, There seems to be no way to edit them..  

Anyone done this

  • Hi Ian,

    to me the ribbon customize dialog still seems to be a little buggy.

    So I started to:

    • export XML files (only once)
    • edit them in Visual Studio (or some other text editor of your choice that can handle XML files)
    • revert ribbon customization
    • import edited XML file

    It may not be very convenient but gives maximum control.

    The keyins are:

    1. ribbon customizations exportecxml
    2. ribbon customizations revertall
    3. ribbon customizations importecxml

    If you open XML file first time in text Editor there are two steps to do:

    1. replace all "...><..." with "...>[newline]<..."
    2. autoindent document (works in Visual Studio, dont knpow about other Texteditors)

    @Bentley: I wonder why the exported XML files come in such "unformated" way?

    XML data is intended for machine consumption rather than human consumption.  The formatting (or lack of [newline]) is neither here nor there.

    However, I agree that it's hard to read (as a person) XML data: the process you've gone through is termed pretty printing.  If you get an XML editor, then most usually have a pretty print tool.  First, talk to your IT people to see if they have a favourite XML editor: it may be available throughout your organisation.  If that's not the case, then consider these...
