Description

Static factory method for rxCustomUI objects. A new context if created if required.

Parameters

Parameter Name	Parameter Type	Default Value	Description
contextId	string	null	The context's unique string identifier
description	string	'Dynamic RibbonX'	The context's description
dispatchScope	rxDispatchScope	DispatchScope_local	(VBA-specific) The context's dispatch mode
customUIMode	rxCustomUIMode	CustomUIMode_dynamic	The context's mode

Remarks

1. A new context is created if it doesn't already exist. If it does exist, the newly created rxCustomUI object joins the existing context.
2. Parameter description only takes effect when a new context is created.
3. Parameter customUIMode should be set to CustomUIMode_dynamic (the default value) for smoother UI rendering

Examples

VBA

1. ' Create an rxCustomUI with global dispatch

2. Dim myCustomUI As rxCustomUI

3. Set myCustomUI = rxCustomUI.create("my_sample_context", "My Global Context", DispatchScope_global)

5. ' Create a second rxCustomUI in the same context but with local dispatch

6. Dim myCustomUI2 as rxCustomUI

7. Set myCustomUI2 = rxCustomUI.create("my_sample_context", "My Global Context", DispatchScope_local)

9. ' NOTE: Both objects now have access to the same state

10. ' NOTE2: Notice that the dispatch scope is a property of rxCustomUI; not its context. i.e. rxCustomUI's 

11. ' with different dispatch scopes belong to the same context above.

12. _

C#

1. // Create a new rxCustomUI in context 'cs_ribbon_context'

2. // The context doesn't exist at this point so it will get created

3. rxCustomUI myCustomUI = rxCustomUI.create("cs_ribbon_context", "C# Ribbon");

5. // Create another rxCustomUI in context 'cs_ribbon_context'

6. // The context already exitsts at this point, so the new rxCustomUI will

7. // just join that context

8. rxCustomUI myCustomUI2 = rxCustomUI.create("cs_ribbon_context", "C# Ribbon");

VB.NET

1. ' Create a new rxCustomUI in context 'vb_ribbon_context'

2. ' The context doesn't exist at this point so it will get created

3. Dim myCustomUI As rxCustomUI = rxCustomUI.create("vb_ribbon_context", "VB.NET context")

5. ' Create another context in context 'vb_ribbon_context'

6. ' The context already exists at this point, so the new rxCustomUI will

7. ' just join that context

8. Dim myCustomUI2 As rxCustomUI = rxCustomUI.create("vb_ribbon_context", "VB.NET context")
