My tailor-made Ribbon XML failed to load in parts or completely.

There can be various reasons.

1. Ribbon Creator can only process XML files generated by Ribbon Creator.

• Ribbon Creator uses pre-fixes to display controls.

      btn = Button
      tgb = ToggleButton
      lbl = Label
      cbx = Checkbox
      ddc = DropdownControl
      sep = Separator
      ebx = EditBox
      gbt = ButtonGroups
      mnu = Menu
      sbt = SplitButton
      gal = Gallery
      cmb = ComboBox

• The "Tag" attribute is used to load information (user-defined pictures, defaults).

• There are "<- Comments lines ->" used to finish controls / control groups which have to remain present.
  

2. Ribbon XML must be well-formed. (Try to open the file using Internet Explorer.)
