Posted a question to "code forum" but now it seems now I've got easier one -

Lately I tried to port our addin's custom context menu to new Visio 2010, according to this...

Customization of context menus and the outspace are also done via ribbonx XML:
I mean, context menu customization "via ribbon XML":
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui">
<contextMenus>
<contextMenu idMso="MenuShape">
<button id="MyId" label="MyButton" onAction="OnRibbonButtonClicked" />
</contextMenu>
</contextMenus>
</customUI>
Means, Microsoft guys, you haven't forgotten to implement (or include?!) this nice feature, have you??? :D
Still hoping that "MenuShape" is just a wrong id... Have already tried "ShapeMenu", "ContextMenuShape", "ShapeContextMenu", "MenuShapeContext"... :D
Kernel panic! Thanks in advance!
Hi Nikolay,
Extensibility of the context menus via RibbonX was implemented *after* Beta2, therefore you likely do not have these bits.
The final idMso values for the context menus are:
For 1D shapes: 'ContextMenuShape1D'
For all other shapes: 'ContextMenuShape'
For the page (i.e. no shape selected): 'ContextMenuDrawingPage'

Hurra!!! It worked! Barry, thank you so much! :D
It seems you were right and I have been trying "ContextMenuShape" against beta 2.
In the later build, it worked!
By the way, maybe you can tell us where can one find other context menu ids? (in this topic?)
In particular, is "page" menu "ContextMenuPage"?
I have only found this doc on the subject: "Office 2010 control ids":
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3f2fe784-610e-4bf1-8143-41e481993ac6&displaylang=en
But there are no ids for the context menus in this file...:(
Kind regards, Nikolay
Glad this is now working for you, thanks for the confirmation.
The MSDN download you linked to is stale and will need to be updated. In the interim, I'll post a complete list here once I'm back in the office.

Barry, thanks!
BTW, is Visio 2010 own user interface defined using an XML file? In this case, I think it would be helpful for Visio developers if Microsoft can make this XML file available to the public.. (e.g. as a separate download?), so that it can be used as a reference, or as a source of idMso... Means, excel files (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3f2fe784-610e-4bf1-8143-41e481993ac6&displaylang=en) are great, but wouldn't it be much easier to publish the original XML... (unless it does not exist of course?)
Either way, your help was invaluable!
Regards, Nikolay.
The built-in ribbon layouts for each office app are declared via an internal format that is not RibbonX. Hence, what you are asking for does not exist, unfortunately.
