Custom Ribbon

[nkuebelbeck]

I am trying to create a custom ribbon that allows users to search and to use the findnext functionality. I am creating the application for Runtime so no ribbons will be available unless I create them.

I have the ribbon loaded and I found the Access Ribbon Control (FindNext) and FindDialog. The only problem is the findNext is grayed out.

Here is my xml

<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon startFromScratch="false">
<tabs>
<tab idMso="TabCreate" visible="false" />
<tab id="dbCustomTab" label="CUSTOM" visible="true">
<group id="dbCopyPaste" label="Copy/Paste">
<control idMso="Paste" label="Paste" enabled="true"/>
<control idMso="Copy" label="Copy" enabled="true"/>
<control idMso="Cut" label="Cut enabled="true"/>
</group>
<group id="dbFind" label="Find">
<control idMso="FindDialog" label="Find" enabled="true"/>
<control idMso="FindNext" label="FindNext" enabled="true"/>
</group>
</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
</customUI>



Do I need to do more with the findnext idMso?

Just got this to work. But if I may expand, Is there a way to use the FindFirst Method within the search?

I've never worked with custom ribbons, though my company just now moved to Office 2007 (nightmare converting my 2003 databases) so I'll be working with it sooner than later.
