I am trying to add a button before "AttachFile" inside the "Include" group on
the inspector window. Is this possible, if so, please give me the xml syntax.
I tried the following but it didn't work.
     <tab idMso="TabNewMailMessage">
       <group idMso="GroupInclude">
         <button insertBeforeMso="AttachFile" id="idAtt123" label="Insert
MyOwn" image="Insert" size="large" onAction="InsertMyOwn"
           />
       </group>
     </tab>

I can create a new group before Include and place a controls which works
fine but I would like to add controls inside the exiting group.

Appreciate your help in this regard.

Thanks
Vela.

Hello Vela,

Built-in Ribbon groups are not customizable.

You can add groups to an existing tab and you can add new tabs but you can't
add your own controls to an existing group unless you use <startFromScratch>
and build the entire ribbon from scratch.
