Menu and Command Bar Customization

User access to functionality provided via an addin is normally provided through the use of menus and/or tools on a commandbar. Reference was made earlier, in the section about addin commands, that the CAF provides a mechanism to allow the menus and commandbars for an application to be defined in a "User Interface customization" (UIC) file. This section provides details of how a CAF based application can be configured to load a UIC file, and how the UIC file can be edited using the applications interactive user interface customization tool. Newer modules (such a Tags) use the new Ribbon commandbar, this is configured in the same way as the original toolbar (detailed below).
