I found I can easily move a tab by getting the tab manager from the tab and calling the MoveItem method of the tab manager.
 
Moving a group was not so easy (or cheap). I had to get the groups object. Insert a new object at the desired location. Then call the Copy method on the new group I just inserted passing in the group I originally wanted to move. Then I deleted the original group.
 
I could not find a way to just move the original group. I tried addreffing the original group and calling Remove but the group deleted all the controls and I ended up with an empy group when I reinserted it where I wanted it. So I have to suffer having all the controls cloned and the original controls deleted (along with the original group).
 
It sure would have been great if there was a bit of symmetry and the groups object, like the tab manager, had a MoveItem method.
 
I have not yet got to moving a control. I sure hope there is an easy (and cheap) way to move a control.

I am working on customization of our ribbon.
 
How do I move a ribbon tab?
 
How do I move a group?
 
How do I move a control?
 
I have not found any methods that support this. Calling the Remove methods so I can then call an insert method causes deletion of the control.
 
Should I just call the "get at" method, addref the item and then call remove and insert or is there direct support for this that I have missed?
