In Outlook web addin I have provided the following property
<DisplayName DefaultValue="My test addin" />
This property is used in the following three locations:
In main Menu which shows up on clicking the three dots "..." on the right of an email :
On the custom addin page :
On the addin header :
All of the above three locations use the same label property and image. Is there a way to provide a different text label for each of the above?
Thanks
Currently, the feature to customize the display name at different locations, is not a part of the product. We track Outlook add-in feature requests on our user-voice page. Please add your request there. Feature requests on user-voice are considered, when we go through our planning process.

I have multiple Content apps (Office Add-ins) in a PowerPoint presentation. The apps need to be converted to image before distributing the presentation to the wider audience group. I know the way to do this is by clicking 'Show as Saved Image' menu in the context menu of the app. But with multiple apps in the document, this is a very tedious process as this will have to be done repeatedly and manually on each Content app. Is there a solution to implement 'show as saved image' on all Content apps in the document in a single step / click?
Desperately looking for a solution! Thanks for any help!
Yes:
Save the file
File > Inspect Presentation/Check for Issues > Inspect Document
Deselect everything except "Content Add-ins"
Inspect
Replace All
Now all the content add-ins are replaced by their images permanently.
I want to create a button to popup a window and display a list that it's being requested to an external source. Then the user would click on one of the items to insert and iframe on the body of the post.
For this I think best way is to create a ribbon custom button right? How can I make it only appear when inserting content such as posts?
You need to create a custom action in your project. It's a small xml file that gets installed in the farm and dislays what ever you want. Check How to add a ribbon item using CustomAction in sharepoint 2010? for a sample and here for extended information on all the possibilities you have http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb802730.aspx
We are using coded ui test using visual studio 2010.We are testing .Net 4.0 windows application.
Here is an scenario.
We have an windows app which has a button named submit and we have recorded a workflow which clicks on submit.
Now when we generate code using coded ui the serach criteria for the button is based on its name (display name of button).
If tommorrow developer changes the button's text to submit1 , our scripts fail.
We tried using "controlName"[name given to the control and not the display name] property in search criteria instead of Name , but it does not work.
We get following error - "The playback failed to find the control with the given search properties"
Related problem happens to me also. I solved it by sending the Focus to the UI control before using that control.
Try this.
this.UIAssettePresentationsWindow2.UINOWindow.UINOButton.SetFocus();
For programming Office Add-ins using C# 4.0, Microsoft provides two different ways of creating and/or modifying the Ribbon interface: you can use the Ribbon Designer or define the Ribbon's layout in Ribbon XML.
If you create a ribbon using the Ribbon designer, the class generated in the code behind has visibility to all the controls you've placed on the ribbon. So if I've placed a RibbonDropDown called "dropdown1", I could use the following code to add an item to it:
RibbonDropDownItem item = Factory.CreateRibbonDropDownItem();
item.Label = submatrix.Name;
item.Tag = submatrix;
this.dropDown1.Items.Add(item);
However, if you create the same Ribbon using Ribbon XML, dropDown1 or Factory aren't found ("The name does not exist in the current context").
Is there a way to access the items added to a Ribbon XML-defined ribbon in code?
Might be a little late, but hopefully this helps someone.
I was utterly confused about this same issue. Turns out, you can only access these controls as string ids, and the model is heavy on invalidation events. So for example, when you get a button click via onAction method, you only have the sender's id from the control object, however, in this event handler, you can invalidate the other controls and have their events called using
ribbon.InvalidateControl("MyCtl");

I've converted a Custom List forms to use InfoPath forms using SharePoint Designer, now I want to revert this back and return to the normal New, Edit and Details forms.
How can I achieve this?
Edit: Here is what I did
In SharePoint Designer 2010 I Clicked on Lists and Libraries
Click on the List I modified
In the Ribbon I select Design Forms in InfoPath in Actions Group
I started to design the form like I want
I published the modifications to the List
Now I want to undo what I did and return to the normal New, Edit and Details forms
List -> List Settings -> there is some InfoPath forms server settings link that leads to the page where you can remove customization.
Changing default Edit/New pages will not help - you need to modify pages for default content type of this list if you want to go this route.
You should be able to do this in SharePoint without needing SP Designer.
Navigate to the list in SharePoint.
On the List ribbon bar, click List Settings.
Under General Settings, click Form Settings link (bottom of first column).
Select the Use the default SharePoint Form option.
You can also opt to delete the custom form by checking Delete the InfoPath Form from the server.
If you created new forms, in sharepoint designer, set the orginal dispform.aspx, editform.aspx and upload.aspx as default.
if you changed the original files, from the navigation pane, go to "All files" --> "/lists/your list" or "your library" --> forms.
Right click the changed files (a blue icon should be present) and then click on "Reset to site definition"
Please note that if you go into the List Settings and click on Form Settings you should see "Infopath" or "Sharepoint" as an option. If you do not see that the form hasn't been checked back in. Open the form back up in Infopath, Publish the form, then go back to your sharepoint list settings and select "Form Settings" from there you should now see the sharepoint option. Select that and you should be good.
If you are looking to hide some of the questions but still see them in Data View (alot of the reason why some of us are doing our forms in infopath) you can actually hide some of them by going to "Advanced Settings" and turning on "Allow Management of Content Types" then going into content type by selecting your list, and from there you can make all the changes by clicking on the column item. This is a great way to hide columns you don't need everyone seeing that you may need to make updates to (lookup columns etc)
