Ensure Unique Ribbon Tab For Excel Add-In - excel

I've created an office add in with a custom ribbon. All works as expected i.e. I see my controls in the tab I create, until I install another 3rd party add-in which gets installed in the same tab. Is there any way to ensure my add in doesn't share it's tab with other add ins?
Thanks in adv!

I fixed it by doing the following:
In VS, select the XYZRibbon.cs
Select the default tab
In the properties window, expand ControlId
Set ControlIdType to "Custom"
After that, I redeployed and my add-in had a tab to itself.

How to remove a Ribbon tab which is not in the Custom tab in the Excel

I have Excel with particular ribbon tabs. When I open Customize the ribbon Form, in the "Customize Ribbon" section, these Tab and groups are not shown in the custom tabs section, but I can see them in the "Quick Access Toolbar" section which I cannot delete them.
Thanks.
I used the Office RibbonX editor app and edited buttons on the XML file.

Scroll bar in Excel 2016 on Mac

So, I wanted to make a scroll bar in Excel, but failed due to inaccessibility of Developer tab in excel. I tried to click with the right click on the Excel menu tab but it didn't react in no way, also I tried to press Ctrl + Right click of the scroll bar on the Mac, but either way the pop up menu where you can choose to Customize the ribbon didn't appear. I ready on several how-to's that there is a Excel options where you can access Developer tab, but I simply don't have "Options" on File tab. I am using Excel 2016 on Mac. by the way, I need this scroll bar to control whether the user inputs more than max first payment for the loan ( Max first payment depends on why the loan has been taken). Maybe some of you knows better way to check whether the input is valid?
I use Excel for Mac, developer tab is available as follows:
From the menu bar, Excel > Preferences > View > 'In Ribbon Show' (Developer Tab)
If it isn't there the Excel Preferences window has a search function, try searching 'developer'.
Good luck, hope you find it.
Well I found a solution to your Issue. Most times so many tabs are left out due to the average consumer not using them. I simply navigated to the FILE tab at the top left corner of Excel (2013), click on Options and clicked on Customize Ribbon.
You should fine the Developer Tab unclicked. Below are some screenshots to help out. Hope
this helps.

crm dynamics 2011 add a new value to dropdown list and set default value

I cannot find how to add a country to drop down menu when creating account, lead or contact. At the moment I see only 2 countries. I need to add one more and make it as default one. So when I create lead, contact or account I don't need to choose every time. I have all the rights but no knowledge.
Click on the Customize tab on the top of form ribbon and then select the Form option.
Form will open in edit mode, double click on country field and on new window select the Details tab.
Click on Edit button, a new window will open
Add new option by clicking on the green colour plus button (pointed out in screenshot below).
Select the default country from default value drop down (pointed out in screenshot below).
Save and close the Field window
Save and Publish the form.
You are ready to go.

How to change visible tag in Visual Studio 2012 storyboard presentation?

I am using Powerpoint storyboard addon by Visual Studio 2012.
I added a tab group vertical and want to change the visible tab.
How do I set the visible tab?
It seems it is not supported. Once the shape is added to the slides, it is just like any other PPT grouped items. Sliders and progress bars got okay with it for smart behavior, but not the tabs.
The only workaround I found is to do so manually. If you want to make the second tab active:
Select and move the active first tab to third one's location.
Select and move the second inactive tab to the first one's location.
Select and move the active tab to second one's location.
Select and move the "white line" below the active tab.

CRM 2011: enable/disable a ribbon button on condition

I am new to CRM and I have an exiting ribbon button. I want to disable it on condition (Field1 is null or not).
So far, I have created an new solution and included the required entity.
Exported the solution and tried to change the configuration.xml.
I have tried to make change under . But without any luck.
Can anyone help me out with an example.
Thanks in advance.
Don't edit it by hand. Use The Visual Ribbon Editor Tool. Makes things much nicer to deal with than hand editing the xml.
If you want to setup a button to be enabled if new_field1 (capitalization matters so make sure it's correct with what your field's actual name is) is not null, here is what you would do:
Open up the ribbon editor
Conenct to your org
Select your entity with the ribbon button you want to enable/disable
Click on your button
Click the Enable Rules tab
Enter the field name exactly as it appears in the customization section of your solution within CRM in the Field text box.
Enter "null" (without the quotes) for the value. Lower case.
Skip Default (if you have some custom forms where the field does not exist, you may want to give it a default value)
Change Invert Result to true.
Click the "Save" button at the very top. (don't click the save button on the main tab of the ribbon)
Verify that it is getting deployed and published.
Test it out.
Edit: Use Ribbon Workbench For System Ribbons
I've never used it, but the Ribbon Workbench says it can customize system buttons.
