Hi,

I've got a ribbonbar with about 8 visible tabs and a context tab. The context tab is originally false set up like this:

    Set oTab = oRib.InsertTab(30000, "&Favorites")
    With oTab
        .ContextCaption = "Favorites"
        .Color = xtpRibbonTabContextColorBlue
        .Visible = False
    End With

In the Execute event I have:

    Select Case Control.Id
        Case 42001: mbShowContextFavorites = Not mbShowContextFavorites
    End Select

And in the Update event I have:

    Select Case Control.Id
        Case XTPCommandBarsSpecialCommands.XTP_ID_RIBBONCONTROLTAB:
            Dim oRib As RibbonBar
            Dim oTab As RibbonTab

            Set oRib = cbar.ActiveMenuBar
            Set oTab = oRib.FindTab(30000)
            If Not oTab Is Nothing Then
                oTab.Visible = mbShowContextFavorites
            End If
    End Select

But the context tab is not showing!! Any ideas??

Thanks,

Ivan

Hi,

parameter in InsertTab is Index - not Id,

so add

oTab.Id = 30000

and it will work.

Yep it worked!

Is it normal that the tab's background color is white?
