Multiple addins using the same ribbon tab and panel

[matt_jlt]

I have multiple addins that I would like to have on the same custom ribbon tab and panel. I know it would make sense to have them in the same addin and then there would be no issue but I would like to have them all separate. I would like to know if anyone has a simple solution or if what I am planning on doing will be ok.

My plan is to have each addin check if the ribbon and tab already exists and if not, create it. It just means that depending on which addin gets loaded first, it will create the appropriate panels.

Has anyone else done something similar to this?

Thanks, Matt.

Hi Matt,

What you said sounds fine: each addin checks if the given tab and panel already exist, and if not then create them.

Thanks for the reply Adam. I just wanted to make sure I was going about it the best way.
