Create New Ribbon Tab for Custom Addin Error

[Anonymous]

Hello, I am creating a custom Add-In for Inventor 2019 using Visual Basic 2019 and I am trying to make a new, custom tab for the Drawing Ribbon. I am able to successfully make a new tab as seen when I look at a list of all the  available ribbons in g_inventorApplication.UserInterfaceManager.Ribbons.Item("Drawing").RibbonTabs, but when I try to make the tab visible using newTab.Visible = True, my Add-In will no longer load into Inventor at all. Any help would be appreciated.

Below is a forum post I have been referencing, but even though my code matches the solution, the problem persists.

Here is my code:

Dim newCEGTab As RibbonTab = drawingRibbon.RibbonTabs.Add("CEG Drawing Tools", "id_TabCEGDrawingTools", AddInClientID, "id_TabTools", True,)
newCEGTab.Visible = True

some issues I ran into when starting out:

ensure the cliedtID is correct, I remember one template I was working off, that variable wasn't working. (if you add the button to an existing tab it is working?)

make sure the internal name is unique, try adding a number at the end.

I'm not sure what was wrong, but my code is working now. Thank you though!
