How to hide or add ribbon tabs in code?

[MarkusWildner]

Hi dear colleagues,

i have to implement the pdf-Exchange editor sdk to our solution coded in vb.net.
After some hours of reading the docs and trying to get the sdk samples to run I'm on a good starting point . Now I have this problem to customize the ribbon menue for our users. I have to show or hide specifig tabs at runtime, because our users only need a small amount of the functionality of this amazing tool. I tried already with .Net Methods like:

AxPXV_Ctrl.Inst.ShowRibbonTab("Home", False)
but with no success.
I searched enums in the Docs for the ribbontabs to call
AxPXV_Ctrl.Inst.ShowRibbonTab2((int)[Enum of the tab], False)
but also no success. Is there anyone, who can help me out with some codesnippet or a hint in a given documentation or tutorial ?

thanks in advance
Markus

Hello MarkusWildner,

The easiest will likely be to have a copy of the end user editor, customize the UI to what you would want to use in your project, and then load the settings from the previously saved file - and that should affect all ribbon tabs and the tools on them as well:

And here is another topic where you can see some sample code on how to use the settings import:
