Location of Ribbon XML for List View

Question

I'm looking for the location of SharePoint ribbon XML for List Views. I'm just curious to see how Microsoft has coded it. However, I don't know the location of the xml file. Could someone put me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Answer 1

All the ribbon definitions are stored in this file:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\GLOBAL\XML\CMDUI.XML

Action JS code for most of these ribbon elements you can find here:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\SP.Ribbon.debug.js

Actions for rich text editor ribbon are stored here:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\SP.UI.Rte.debug.js

Copy the following XML into Feature's Elements.xml and try to play with params. The location is CommandUI.Ribbon.ListView

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
  <CustomAction
  Id="ShowHelloWorldButton"
  RegistrationType="List"
  RegistrationId="100"
  Location="CommandUI.Ribbon.ListView"
  Rights="EditListItems">
    <CommandUIExtension>
      <CommandUIDefinitions>
        <CommandUIDefinition
         Location="Ribbon.ListItem.Actions.Controls._children">
          <Button
           Id="Ribbon.ListItem.Actions.Controls.ShowHelloWorldButton"
           Alt="Show HelloWorld Alert"
           Sequence="1"
           Image32by32="/_layouts/DemoSharePointRibbon/HelloWorld.jpg"
           Command="ShowHelloWorldCommand"
           LabelText="Hello World"
           TemplateAlias="o1"
           CommandType="General"/>
        </CommandUIDefinition>
      </CommandUIDefinitions>
      <CommandUIHandlers>
        <CommandUIHandler
         Command="ShowHelloWorldCommand"
         CommandAction="javascript:alert('Hello World');" />
