---------------------------------------------------------------------- Schema definition for Ribbon Extensibility ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Attribute types ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Specifies the "Qualified ID" for a built-in or custom control. Custom controls can be given an idQ defined with a prefix, e.g. "myaddin:Save" where "myaddin" must be an XML namespace defined in context of the element. A qualified id allows multiple add-ins to refer to the same controls. A custom control must have one of id, idQ, or idMso. Specifies the custom ID of a control. Specifies a unique ID. Specifies a delegate type which is used by a control to call back to a macro. Callbacks are used to provide status, update properties or perform actions. Specifies a numeric argument which determines maximum string length, such as in editBox String length is limited to 1024 characters. Specifies a numeric argument which determines maximum number of rows or columns in galleries Specifies a numeric argument which determines maximum width or height of a gallery item Specifies a string argument.

Specifies ID of a custom UI element. IDs must be unique across customUI XML file. A qualified control ID. To use a qualified name, you must first create your own namespace. The following code creates a namespace called myNameSpace, aliased by "x." <customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2005/08/customui" xmlns:x="myNameSpace"> With this declaration, idQ is usable on controls: <group idQ="x:myButton" ... /> By creating a namespace x, two different add-ins can add to the same group, by referring to that custom group with its qualified name.
