Move Controls on the Ribbon
From the UI Designer, you can reorganize or simplify your workspace by selecting a new location for the controls.
To move a control within its parent control
- To move a control to new location within its parent control (for example, to move a button within a group, or to move a group on a tab), use the Move buttons from the Arrange Controls pane in the UI Designer.
You can move a control from one group to a different group, move a group from one tab to a different tab, or delete a control from its current location and add it to the new location.
To move a control outside its parent control
- From the Design View pane, select the control that you want to move.
- Write down the settings that appear in the Settings pane.
- From the Arrange Controls pane, click Delete.
- Select the tab and group where you want to place the control, or add a new tab and group.
- From the Insert Controls pane:
To insert
Do this
A Tab, Group, or Button
Click the control.
A Gallery, Split Button, or Button Group
Click the control, then from the Subitems Collector Editor dialog box, add subitems to the control, and then click OK.
A Built-In
Click the control, then from the Built-In Controls dialog box, choose a pre-defined gallery or group, and then click Insert.
- Change the properties for the control in the Settings pane to match the settings you wrote down before you deleted the control from its original location.
- Click OK.
