title: VBA control over the ribbon?
body: <p>I am in the process of creating a VBA add-in for Excel 2010, and I used the "<a href="http://openxmldeveloper.org/blog/b/openxmldeveloper/archive/2009/08/07/7293.aspx" rel="nofollow">Custom UI Editor for Microsoft Office</a>" tool to create my own ribbon. 
  However, I would like to give the user the option to load my add-in without displaying the ribbon, or with different parts of the ribbon visible.  </p>
  
  <p>With menus, I know you can completely control them programmatically, but ribbons seem to work differently.  </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way in VBA to <em>not</em> load my <code>customUI.xml</code> ribbon tabs on startup?<br>
  Is there a way to remove items from (or add items to) these tabs at runtime?</p>
