Hello,
how can i save the ribbon customizations to a stream from code, without using the customization window?
Thank you in advance,
Michael
Hi,
The ribbon exposes two methods that you can use: ribbon.ExportRibbonLayout() and respectively - ImportRibbonLayout(), both accepting a stream as an input parameter.
Hope this helps,
Hi Georgi,
i have already tried these methods and they throw an exception, below is the stack trace on Export
"System.NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I thought that the method is to be called only from the customization form and i misused them...
But there must be a bug, because the null reference exception is raised from customization form also, you can check it on the Matt's example which i upgraded to v12.2 latest SP
