I'm trying to create a SharePoint 2010 application page (AKA layout page) to display some information and allow users to perform some custom functionality.

I need to display custom ribbon tab for the functionality that I want to perform. And I want this custom tab to be displayed on the application page that I've created.

I've managed to create a custom ribbon tab and display it on list view ribbon through a SP feature. But how can I register this custom ribbon tab so that I will display on the application page that I've created?

Thanks,

Seems like you're looking for RibbonLayoutsPage class from Ribbon Utils for SharePoint 2010.

Is the custom application page in the _layouts folder and extends from LayoutsPageBase?

CustomActions have four possible RegistrationTypes

  • List
  • ContentType
  • ProgId
  • FileType

An application page has no List or ContentType, I dont think it is a ProgId (like infopath), that just leaves FileType. I have tried RegistrationType=FileType with RegistrationId=aspx but that doesn't work.

I'm just trying to think if i have ever seen an application page with ribbon buttons, but can't remember any. So I'm thinking it is not possible.

The ribbon definition does seem to have any either.
