RE: RibbonX - programatically enable/disable buttons

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

When you use getVisible, you should keep in mind that even if a control is invisible, the user can still access it via the QAT Customization dialog and execute it via the QAT. You should always use the getEnable callback as well and disable all the controls with it as well. If you hide a tab, group or menu, keep in mind that you need to disable every single control individually contained within them.

Hello Dave,

When you devlop the custom Ribbon control, you could use the getVisiable
callback in the XML to programmatically determine whether to show or hide a
tab.

You could follow the example in the article:
