Dear All,

I'm creating a windows application in c#, automating MsOffice Excel.

i'm trying to hide ribbon display but its not hiding the ribbon.

What I have tried:

C#

public static bool ChangeRibbonDisplay(IQuestion question, string filename, ShowHide display)
       {
           ExcelInterop.Application excelApplication = null;
           try
           {
               excelApplication = new ExcelInterop.Application() { Visible = false, DisplayAlerts = false, ScreenUpdating = false };
               ExcelInterop.Workbook excelWorkbook = excelApplication.Workbooks.Open(filename);

               excelApplication.ExecuteExcel4Macro("show.toolbar(\"ribbon\"," + display + ")");

               excelWorkbook.Save();
               excelWorkbook.Close(true);

               return true;
           }
           catch (Exception)
           {
               return false;
           }
           finally
           {
               QuitApplication(excelApplication);
           }
       }

But, the above is not hiding the ribbon.

Even i have tried this:

excelApplication.SendKeys("^{F1}");//not hide/show

can anyone please help me.

Thanks in advance

Check this: VBA auto hide ribbon in Excel 2013 - Stack Overflow[^]

A C# form may look like:

C#

excelApplication.CommandBars.ExecuteMso "HideRibbon"

[EDIT]
"HideRibbon" is the name of ribbon you have to change.

To get list of IdMso, please see: Ribbon Examples files and Tips[^]
