Integrating ribbon groups

Desktop Integration API provides support for third-party developers to integrate UI ribbon groups inside the SDL Trados Studio desktop applications.

Integrating ribbon groups

The following example demonstrates how to create a ribbon group into a SDL Trados Studio application.

using Sdl.Desktop.IntegrationApi;
using Sdl.Desktop.IntegrationApi.Extensions;
using Sdl.TranslationStudioAutomation.IntegrationApi.Presentation;
using Sdl.TranslationStudioAutomation.IntegrationApi.Presentation.DefaultLocations;

namespace Actions.Sample
{
    [RibbonGroup("MySampleRibbonGroup")]
    [RibbonGroupLayout(LocationByType = typeof(TranslationStudioDefaultRibbonTabs.HomeRibbonTabLocation))]    
    class MySampleRibbonGroup : AbstractRibbonGroup
    {        
    }    
}

Note

SDL Trados Studio Integration API provide a special location for the plug-ins (see: TranslationStudioDefaultRibbonTabs).

For information on how to add UI items inside a ribbon group, read about the actions. (see: Creating actions or check the sample Integrating actions)

Note

If there are no UI elements added inside the ribbon group, it will not be visible.
