  • Yes, you can add a button to page tab ribbon when you add your web part.For this you need to implement your Ribbon Button as a seperate feature and enable it, and in Enabledscript property of your ribbon element you can check if your web part is on the page you can enable the ribbon button.A starting point can be http://www.thorntontechnical.com/tech/sharepoint/sharepoint-2010-document-sets-custom-ribbon-buttons-with-custom-code Jul 21, 2012 at 8:28

You can create a Ribbon Tab which shows up when your web part is selected, this is what is called a Contextual Tab.

MSDN has an article: Walkthrough: Creating a Custom Web Part with a Contextual Tab

It's a lot of work, but as Wictor Wilén writes in CKSDev version 2.0 is released - includes Contextual Web Part SPI it's been made a lot easier by CKSDev

From your question, I understand that you want to add the button to the Page Tab in the Ribbon whenever a particular WebPart is added to the page.

You can do this with the JavaScript Client Object Model: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh185004

Here is a list of all Locations where the Button can be added: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb802730

If you want to go the Server Side way, you can add the Ribbon button like this: http://sp365.co.uk/2011/09/programmatically-add-ribbon-custom-action-to-an-existing-list/

Also, I would like to mention that there is an awesome Library on Codeplex for adding ribbon buttons: http://spribbon.codeplex.com/

  • Thanks a lot. I use Library, but How can I get access to the controls within the web part?

  • You can get access to the code from the webpart by the Ribbon Objects provided in the JS Client Object Model as well as the Server Side (C#) code. Check out the examples in the links. Jul 22, 2012 at 8:28
  • I have a SpGridView in webpart. I want whne select a row of SpGridView change the link on ribbon.
