I am trying Excel Addin with dialog api, and I have such dialog below:
How can I change the content in green area?
How can I disable the close button in red area?
The title is the name of your add-in specified in the manifest file. It is out of your control.
There is no way to remove the close button on the upper right corner of the dialog window.
Read more about that in the Use the Office dialog API in Office Add-ins article.

I've noticed my Customise Ribbon menu in excel has an Add-ins tab that doesn't appear in excel, it also has no items in it. Does anyone know what this tab does/is suppose to do?
screenshot attached
I have working .xlam application that contains a custom ribbon. This works great but the menu items under my tab sometimes disappear. I would like to add an onAction to the main tab for the add-in in the ribbon's CustomUI.xml but Excel must see this as a syntax error in the .xml and doesn't load the ribbon.
Is there a way to get an OnAction to fire when the ribbon's tab is clicked?
The Office Fluent UI (Ribbon X) schema does not define/allow an onAction attribute for a tab control.
So, no, what is asked in the question is not allowed / not possible.
I am trying to add a new button under Fill color in Home tab in excel
I have tried adding my button by going to File > Option > Customize Ribbon but the options are disabled
I want to add my button in "Home" tab
Here is an interesting way of customizing the ribbon in excel (still works in Excel 2016) :

In brief, with the help of CustomUI you will modify part of the file archive in the way that you can remove actual tabs, add your own tab, and custom buttons inside of it
You asked for adding a button in the "Home" tab, a workaround would be recreating "Home" tab in a personnal ribbon tab and adding your own button to it. Your personnal button could trigger a macro sub (VBA) or even use native Excel functionalities.
(I can help you further if you choose this way)
Working with an office Web Add-In, I am trying to:
Add a sub menu entry with no icon: When no icon is set a default one is picked up. I can obviously add a transparent pixel picture but that's not really elegant.
Add a separator like the menuSeparator in a VSTO add-In.
Any idea?
I have a workbook,which contains ActiveX control button and form control button and macros are assigned to those controls. these controls are working fine in excel 2007 but when I open this workbook in excel 2010, I am unable to click on those controls. Whenever I click on any button,it goes in design mode. Is there any solution available??
Neha your Excel Setting are preventing the ActiveX Buttons to become Active. Do this
Click On the File Tab | Options. Click on the Trust Center in the dialog box that opens and then click on Trust Center Setting. Go to ActiveX Setting and click on the option button Prompt Me before enabling all controls with minimal restrictions
Close the file and re-open it. You will get a Yellow Popup Bar asking you to enable the ActiveX. Click on yes and you are done :)
