Inventor 2014 Ribbon, Tab & Panel Names

[Boorda]

I've looked around to try and find a useful resource for Inventor ribbon names and such with pretty much no luck so I generated my own for Inventor 2014. I decided to post this here incase someone else might find it useful during macro or add-in development.

Thank you very much, This will come in very handy. Always good to get some help with customizing 😃

Here is a similar list for Inventor 2023 ribbons. I am not 100% sure if it is comprehensive or not, but there's a lot there.

The code to generate this list is shown below (C#). Note that there is no "display name" for ribbons, as they are not shown by name to the user.

var userInterfaceManager = _thisApplication.UserInterfaceManager;
using var sw = new StreamWriter("c:\\temp\\InventorRibbons.csv");

sw.WriteLine($"Ribbon,Tab Name,Tab Internal Name");
foreach (Ribbon oRibbon in userInterfaceManager.Ribbons)
{
    foreach (RibbonTab oTab in oRibbon.RibbonTabs)
    {
        sw.WriteLine($"{oRibbon.InternalName},{oTab.DisplayName},{oTab.InternalName}");
    }
}
sw.Close();

Thanks for the contribution, lol and love the screen name.

This variation also shows the panels and writes them to the logger:

For Each ribbon As Ribbon In ThisApplication.UserInterfaceManager.Ribbons
    Logger.Info(vbTab & Ribbon.InternalName)
    For Each ribbonTab As RibbonTab In Ribbon.RibbonTabs
        Logger.Info(vbTab & vbTab & RibbonTab.DisplayName & " - " & RibbonTab.InternalName)
        For Each ribbonPanel As RibbonPanel In RibbonTab.RibbonPanels
            Logger.Info(vbTab & vbTab & vbTab & RibbonPanel.DisplayName & " - " & RibbonPanel.InternalName)
        Next
    Next
Next
Dim loggerWindow = ThisApplication.UserInterfaceManager.
	DockableWindows.
	Cast(Of DockableWindow).
	Where(Function(d) d.InternalName.Equals("ilogic.logwindow")).
	First()
loggerWindow.Visible = True

 It's taken from my blog post/tutorial "Creating an Inventor Addin".

I got very tired of remembering where I saved this, and not having enough items documented. I created a running database that shows all of this information. It includes code samples as well.
