***NOW AVAILABLE*** Customizing and Extending the SharePoint 2010 Server Ribbon

An article I worked very hard on has recently been published on MSDN. The article, Customizing and Extending the SharePoint 2010 Server Ribbon, is very long and a comprehensive companion to what you’ll find in the SharePoint 2010 SDK. I found there to be a lot to uncover and expose in the SharePoint 2010 ribbon while researching the subject. This paper was supposed to be around 15 pages but I couldn’t hold back… ended up over 40 pages! There are two detailed samples in there too.

Learn about the components that make up the SharePoint 2010 Server ribbon and how to customize the ribbon by walking through two ribbon customization scenarios.

You’ll learn a ton of stuff about the ribbon from this paper. I talk about a lot of things that were not uncovered in the SDK. While working on it, some things didn’t make it into the paper and instead made it in a series of blog posts you’ll fine on my blog from October 2010. Here are the links to those posts:

And here’s the ribbon paper:

Hi Andrew,

Greate article! I see you are using javascript to enable and disable ribbon buttons based on some condition. Is it possible to conditionally hide or show ribbon buttons?

See social.msdn.microsoft.com/.../47b326a7-d997-484...

I need to check a property in the root folder of a library before showing a special button that I made.

Best Regards
Øystein Garnes
