Export ribbon definitions

Note

This topic is about classic commands.

There is a new way to define commands. See Modern commanding overview (preview).

To effectively define changes to the default RibbonXml, you must be able to reference the RibbonXml data that defines those ribbons.

Access the ribbon definitions for your organization

If the Ribbon for your organization has been modified, you should export the current definitions if you intend to work with the customized ribbon elements. To do this, use the Export ribbon xml sample.

Access the default ribbon data

The default ribbon definitions for model-driven apps can be downloaded from Microsoft Downloads: ExportedRibbonXml.zip.

The applicationRibbon.xml file contains the definition of the core application ribbons.

The remaining files contain the definitions used by tables that have ribbon definitions that differ from the table template. Each file is named according to the name of the table: logical table name + Ribbon.xml.

These files represent the output of two messages using the Sample: Export ribbon definitions:

RetrieveApplicationRibbonRequest
This message retrieves the core application ribbons including the table template.

RetrieveEntityRibbonRequest
This message retrieves the ribbon definition used for a specific table.

Decompress the ribbon data

The ribbon data is exported as a compressed file. To decompress the file into XML, you have to use the System.IO.Packaging.ZipPackage class. The following example is a helper method used in the SDK sample to decompress the file.

/// <summary>
/// A helper method that decompresses the Ribbon data returned
/// </summary>
/// <param name="data">The compressed ribbon data</param>
/// <returns></returns>
public byte[] unzipRibbon(byte[] data)
{
System.IO.Packaging.ZipPackage package = null;
MemoryStream memStream = null;

memStream = new MemoryStream();
memStream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
package = (ZipPackage)ZipPackage.Open(memStream, FileMode.Open);

ZipPackagePart part = (ZipPackagePart)package.GetPart(new Uri("/RibbonXml.xml", UriKind.Relative));
using (Stream strm = part.GetStream())
{
 long len = strm.Length;
 byte[] buff = new byte[len];
 strm.Read(buff, 0, (int)len);
 return buff;
}
}

Retrieve the application ribbon data

The application ribbon can be retrieved using the RetrieveApplicationRibbonRequest as shown in the following sample.

//Retrieve the Application Ribbon
var appribReq = new RetrieveApplicationRibbonRequest();
var appribResp = (RetrieveApplicationRibbonResponse)service.Execute(appribReq);

System.String applicationRibbonPath = Path.GetFullPath(exportFolder + "\\applicationRibbon.xml");
File.WriteAllBytes(applicationRibbonPath, unzipRibbon(appribResp.CompressedApplicationRibbonXml));

Retrieve table ribbons

To retrieve the ribbon definition for tables, you can just include the name of the table as a parameter to the RetrieveEntityRibbonRequest.

To retrieve the ribbon definitions for all tables that support the ribbon, you need a list of those system tables that have ribbon definitions that vary from the table ribbon template. The following sample shows an array of all the system tables that have ribbon definitions.

//This array contains all of the system tables that use the ribbon.
public System.String[] entitiesWithRibbons = {"account",
"activitymimeattachment",
"activitypointer",
"appointment",
"bulkoperation",
"calendar",
"campaign",
"campaignactivity",
"campaignresponse",
"competitor",

The following sample shows how to retrieve the ribbon definitions for a set of tables.

//Retrieve system table Ribbons
var entRibReq = new RetrieveEntityRibbonRequest() { RibbonLocationFilter = RibbonLocationFilters.All };
foreach (System.String entityName in entitiesWithRibbons)
{
 entRibReq.EntityName = entityName;
 var entRibResp = (RetrieveEntityRibbonResponse)service.Execute(entRibReq);

 System.String entityRibbonPath = Path.GetFullPath(exportFolder + "\\" + entityName + "Ribbon.xml");
 File.WriteAllBytes(entityRibbonPath, unzipRibbon(entRibResp.CompressedEntityXml));
 //Write the path where the file has been saved.
 Console.WriteLine(entityRibbonPath);
}

Any custom tables also support ribbon customizations. To get a list of custom tables, use the RetrieveAllEntitiesRequest and retrieve the names of custom tables. The following sample shows how to retrieve ribbon definitions for all custom tables.

//Check for custom tables
 var raer = new RetrieveAllEntitiesRequest() { EntityFilters = EntityFilters.Entity };
 var resp = (RetrieveAllEntitiesResponse)service.Execute(raer);
 foreach (EntityMetadata em in resp.EntityMetadata)
 {
  if (em.IsCustomEntity == true && em.IsIntersect == false)
  {
   entRibReq.EntityName = em.LogicalName;
   var entRibResp = (RetrieveEntityRibbonResponse)service.Execute(entRibReq);
   System.String entityRibbonPath = Path.GetFullPath(exportFolder + "\\" + em.LogicalName + "Ribbon.xml");
   File.WriteAllBytes(entityRibbonPath, unzipRibbon(entRibResp.CompressedEntityXml));
   //Write the path where the file has been saved.
   Console.WriteLine(entityRibbonPath);
  }
 }
