Creating a tab

Add a new class to your project and name it MyCustomUI.
Add the following code to your class

// Namespaces of the two Dynamic RibbonX assemblies

```
using LogismiX.Interop.DynamicRibbonX;
```
```
using LogismiX.DynamicRibbonX.Core;
```
```
 
```
```
namespace DynamicRibbonXAddin
```
```
{
```
```
 
```
```
    class MyCustomUI
```
```
    {
```
```
        private rxCustomUI _customUI;
```
```
 
```
```
        public MyCustomUI()
```
```
        {
```

            // Instantiate a new rxCustomUI in a new context with id 'my_test_cs_ctx'

            _customUI = rxCustomUI.create("my_test_cs_ctx", "Test C# Context");

```
 
```

            // Cache a reference to the custom UI's ribbon

            rxRibbon myRibbon = _customUI.ribbon;

```
 
```

            // Create a new tab and label it 'My Tab'

```
            rxTab myTab = new rxTab();
```

            myTab.label = "My First Tab";

```
 
```

            // Add the tab to myRibbon's tabs

```
            myRibbon.tabs.add(myTab);
```
```
 
```
```
            // Render the UI
```
```
            _customUI.refresh();
```
```
        }
```
```
 
```
```
    }
```
```
}
```

Modify class ThisAddin in ThisAddin.cs as follows

```
namespace DynamicRibbonXAddin
```
```
{
```
```
    public partial class ThisAddIn
```
```
    {
```
```
        private MyCustomUI _myCustomUI;
```
```
 
```

        private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

```
        {
```
```
            // Show the custom ribbon
```

            _myCustomUI = new MyCustomUI();

```
        }
```
```
 
```

        private void ThisAddIn_Shutdown(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

```
        {
```
```
        }
```
```
    }
```
```
}
```

Run the add-in. If everything went according to plan a new tab labeled 'My First Tab' will appear when the application starts

Code Analysis

// Instantiate a new rxCustomUI in a new context with id 'my_test_cs_ctx'

_customUI = rxCustomUI.create("my_test_cs_ctx", "Test C# Context");

rxCustomUI is at the top of the object model hierarchy. Here we instantiate a new rxCustomUI object in a new context with id 'my_text_cs_ctx' with description 'Test C# Context'

// Cache a reference to the custom UI's ribbon

```
rxRibbon myRibbon = _customUI.ribbon;
```

Each rxCustomUI object owns a unique rxRibbon object. Here, we are caching a reference to the rxRibbon object of _customUI

// Create a new tab and label it 'My Tab'

```
rxTab myTab = new rxTab();
```
```
myTab.label = "My First Tab";
```

Here, we create a new rxTab object and give it a label
