Remarks

The value of RibbonPositionType is used by RibbonPosition to specify the position of a Ribbon element in relation to other elements.

You can use the RibbonPositionType to move a custom group into a certain position on a built-in tab. For more information, see How to: Customize a Built-in Tab.

You can use the RibbonPosition to move custom controls in relation to other controls on the Microsoft Office Menu. For more information, see How to: Add Controls to the Backstage View.

To specify a particular built-in element, use the OfficeId. A list of Office ID values is available at the Microsoft Download Center Web page Office 2010 Help Files: Office Fluent User Interface Control Identifiers.
