Some Things I've Figured Out

  • You're limited to 1 CustomTab element, apparently.
  • The manifest hates:
    • blank values in strings
    • Spaces in resids and group labels. Tab labels seem fine, along with controls and tooltips. Something about having a space in a group label pisses it off. It's totally fine with as a replacement though. Someone should probably provide feedback to the OfficeDev team and have them fix it.
  • You can basically drag and drop elements between different groups.

Also

  • I've got a manifest builder python script working, I'll open a pull request (again) to add it. It does not do error checking for spaces and the way I built it limits the menu size, but it's a start. I have some upgrades planned for it, like:
    • Helping with the space character and blank values issue
    • Adding groups and controls automagically from an xml string
    • Parsing the existing manifest.xml file and editing it rather then renerating it each time.
    • Adding comments into the code to help navigate.
