Make Ribbon Dll Stay Loaded

[Anonymous]

I have created a Ribbon as a DLL and got it working but now i cant get it to stay loaded

I have tried adding to a lisp in the startup suite but it just crashes autocad

(command "netload" "C:\\Ribbon\\Ribbon.dll")

(command "Basic")
(command "Advanced")

is there anyway of getting it to load the ribbon when autocad starts ?

Thanks in advance

Managed to get it to load on startup by adding the following

  Private Sub ComponentManager_ItemInitialized(sender As Object, e As RibbonItemEventArgs)
            
'now one Ribbon item is initialized, but the Ribbon control
 'may not be available yet, so check if before
            If Autodesk.Windows.ComponentManager.Ribbon IsNot Nothing Then
                'ok, Load Ribbon

                Basic()
                Advanced()

                'and remove the event handler

                RemoveHandler Autodesk.Windows.ComponentManager.ItemInitialized, AddressOf ComponentManager_ItemInitialized

            End If
        End Sub
