Item.ID Property (ExRibbon)

Use the ID property to associate an unique identifier to each item. You can use the Item property of the Ribbon component to get the Item object based on its identifier. Use the Debug property to display the identifiers for all visible items, for debugging purposes. The First number in the [] parenthesis indicates the item's ID property. Use the Caption property to specify the item's caption. Use the UserData property to associate any extra data to your items.

How can I specify/assign the item's identifier?

VBA (MS Access, Excell...)

	.Refresh
