Office 2007 get ribbon name

[Jwh]

I am working on an app with a custom menu on the Add Ins ribbon. I have
figured out how to hide the whole ribbon, but how do I get the name/ids of
the tabs on the ribbon, when I am not currently using XML to generate this
ribbon.
Ideally, I would like to get the ids for each specific tab so I can turn all
tabs except for the add ins tab off.

Many Thanks,

Hi Jwh

This will hide all tabs
Remove this line
<tab idMso="TabAddIns" visible="false"/>

Not quite all, Ron, I don't believe. It doesn't hide the contextual tabs.
Nor does StartFromStratch interestingly.

Hi Jim

Thanks for your reply

I will add a example for this on my ribbon page this weekend in
the downlod with examples for the Custom UI editor.

Will try to test a few things this evening but I am sure you are correct

You are correct Jim, strange

FYI

I change the basic XML example files with RibbonX in the download on my site.
