I am new in excel vb.net programming. I am building a excel add-in like the image attached. I have searched but did not find a way to create its UI like the attached image. Please let me know if its possible or not, if yes, please provide me the links.
Thank you so much
You can easily add your own buttons, graphics to Excel or any Office product (Word/Power Point/Excel/ etc) by simply right clicking the ribbon area, then choosing [Customize the Ribbon].
In the next window, if you want your buttons to be displayed on their own Ribbon, create a new Ribbon.
Add as many buttons as you want, and you can separate them if you like.
You can read more about Customizing Ribbons in Office products here.
You can create a new tab on your ribbon as Ahmad has mentioned. You can then add buttons to your new ribbon tab and have them execute macros that you have written. For example, if while working in Excel, you have to highlight cells often with yellow, you can write a macro in your personal workbook then have a button in your new tab execute that macro.

I am trying to write a VBA macro that runs when opening a .docx document. I want it to force the display of the Navigation Pane and then force all of the headings (any level) to display in collapsed mode. I am trying to get the code for the Collapse command using the macro recorder.
All I have when I record the macro is:
ActiveWindow.DocumentMap = True
Right-clicking on a heading in the Navigation Pane and collapsing does not record a code line. Is there a VBA method for this event?
I "solved" this requirement for myself by means of an AutoHotKey script, which just sends the necessary mouse click and subsequent key strokes. Not beautiful, but it works most of the times.
Kind regards, Hauke
As of this writing in 2019, this is not possible through VBA. It's been asked for from Microsoft for a long time.
As originally suggested in this Microsoft forum post, the quickest way to collapse all of the headings in the Navigation pane is to right-click one of the headings and click Collapse All. Obviously this is not an automated/macro-based solution, but it's all we have until Microsoft exposes the task panes through the VBA object model.

I have a macro-enabled Excel template which contains a ribbon button pointing to a macro sub. The button assignment still points to the source template, however, instead of the sub in the new document. If I create a document and then move or delete the template, I'm no longer able to use the button in the new document:
I've noticed that the ribbon button seems have the macro's source template path hard-coded, and there isn't any place I can find in ribbon customization UI to change it:
I'm certain this has been asked before, but I've tried a number of different ways of searching for it without coming up with anything.
I found this which talks about a button on a form, not a ribbon, and I found this which seems to be generating "shapes" programmatically and assigning their action; neither of these two are relevant.
This is the closest I've found, but whereas the QAT customization tab has the option for setting the target:
the ribbon customization tab does not have that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I import bsa file as module. And macro run properly. I need to set up these macros buttons in to Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). I do it manually from standart way as well. But i want to make this automatically with macro (VBA). How these macros assigned to the buttons and buttons set up on the QAT by VBA inside macro?
I searched a lot, and the only way I was able to find was using Office Fluent User Interface.
See this article that walks you through doing it. The example is Excel's QAT, but since all Office Products share the same Type Library, you should be able to adapt it for MS Word 2010.
I am in the process of creating a VBA add-in for Excel 2010, and I used the "Custom UI Editor for Microsoft Office" tool to create my own ribbon.
However, I would like to give the user the option to load my add-in without displaying the ribbon, or with different parts of the ribbon visible.
With menus, I know you can completely control them programmatically, but ribbons seem to work differently.
Is there a way in VBA to not load my customUI.xml ribbon tabs on startup?
Is there a way to remove items from (or add items to) these tabs at runtime?
here is a whole slew of help on this subject Awesome Ribbon Help. I think points 2 and 3 are of particular interest to you.
