Display the Ribbon Tab of a loaded menu file.

Hi All,

I have created a menu file that contains a ribbon tab. I can load the menu and make sure the pull down and toolbars are visible, but I can't find a way using LISP to make the new ribbon tab visible. I know that I can go to the CUI manager, edit the workspace, tick the ribbon tab and save the workspace, but I need to do all this via lisp on startup.

Any and all help greatly appreciated.

Try This

(command "MENULOAD" [color="blue"]"your Cuix File Path"[/color])
(menucmd "P20=+[color="blue"]Menugroupname[/color].POP1")
(menucmd "P20=*")
(COMMAND "WSCURRENT" "")

Hi gS7,

I am already using these commands to display the Pull Down menu, but I need a way to display the new Tab on the Ribbon menu.

Can u Please Attach Your Cuix File ?

This should do what you're after:

The code posted is for a CommandMethod Method named DOCRIB, and can be ported to a LispFunction Method if usin the Command version is not ideal.

Hi All,

I did end up finding a Lisp command that allowed me to do this! It's not very well documented, but providing the menu is loaded, the +ribbon command does the job.

+ribbon .

The element.id is from the required ribbon tab as given in the CUI.

Hope this helps someone else looking for this solution.
