Hello,

I am looking for a way to programmatically select a tab in a ribbon control.  That is, when the user does something in the application, I want to force a particular ribbon tab to become active.

Is this possible?  


Thanks,

Rohan

Hi,
 
I once tried to show menu item with .Execute method so I guess this would be same... Something like: Ribbon.FindControl(,<ID>,,True).Execute

If you are using VB6 and you've created Ribbon Bar as mentioned in CJ's Command Bars Sample, this will definitely work for you:

RibbonBar.Tab(Index).Selected = True

Where Index refers to your desired tab's index.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the reply. You got me in the right direction ... there's a "FindTab" method with a "Selected" property.  I feel somewhat embarrassed that I didn't see that Embarrassed

Thanks !
