This is the second post  for the Custom Actions Using CSOM for SharePoint Online series.

In the Previous post  Custom Actions Using CSOM for SharePoint Online we had see how to create ECB menu for the lists in SharePoint online

In this post we will see  how  create Ribbon Custom actions for different types of lists (Custom List, Document Library  and Calendar).

Create 3 lists of type Custom List, Document Library  and Calendar each.

Ribbon menus  are different for   Custom List, Document Library  and Calendar.

Calendar:

Custom List:

Document Library:

So the implementation is slight different for each and every type of list.

Custom List:

1)  Add a new button(btn_custlstRibbonCustomActions) to the web form(CustomActions.aspx)   created in the  first post 

2)Add the below code in the button click

 string Pwd = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Password"].ToString();
                string UserName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Username"].ToString();
                string spsiteurl = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SPSiteUrl"].ToString();
                var secure = new SecureString();
                foreach (char c in Pwd)
                {
                    secure.AppendChar(c);
                }
                using (var clientContext = new ClientContext(spsiteurl))
                {
                    clientContext.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(UserName, secure);
                    var customlist = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("SampleCustomList");
                    clientContext.Load(customlist);
                    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
                    Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UserCustomActionCollection collUserCustomAction = customlist.UserCustomActions;
                    UserCustomAction PublishRibbonaction = collUserCustomAction.Add();
                    PublishRibbonaction.Location = "CommandUI.Ribbon.ListView";
                    PublishRibbonaction.Sequence = 10001;
                    PublishRibbonaction.Title = "CustomListRibbonAction";
                    PublishRibbonaction.CommandUIExtension = @"<CommandUIExtension><CommandUIDefinitions>"
                      + "<CommandUIDefinition Location=\"Ribbon.ListItem.Actions.Controls._children\">"
                    + "<Button Id=\"InvokeAction.Button\" TemplateAlias=\"o1\" Command=\"EditFormButtonCommand\" CommandType=\"General\" LabelText=\"CustomListRibbonAction\"  Image32by32=\"_layouts/15/images/placeholder32x32.png\" Image16by16=\"_layouts/15/images/placeholder16x16.png\" />"
                           + "</CommandUIDefinition>"
                           + "</CommandUIDefinitions>"
                           + "<CommandUIHandlers>"
                           + "<CommandUIHandler Command =\"EditFormButtonCommand\" CommandAction = \"javascript:OpenPopUpPageWithTitle('https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sharepointmates/_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx', RefreshOnDialogClose, 600, 400,'CustomList Ribbon');\"  EnabledScript=\"javascript: SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems().length >= 1\" /> "
                            + "</CommandUIHandlers></CommandUIExtension>";
                    PublishRibbonaction.Update();
                    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
                    lbl_Success.Text = "Custom List Riboon  Action  Created Successfully";

                }

3) Now run the Web application and click on the  btn_custlstRibbonCustomActions Button

4) Ribbon Custom action will be created  for the list

5) After selected the  the list items(1 or more) the custom action will be enabled. once we click on the action a pop will opened with given url.

Note :

1. Since we are defined the CommandAction   as popup,we are getting the Popup. we need to  the defined the action as per the requirement.
2. We have to specify the location on the custom action  using the Location Attribute  like

    Location=\"Ribbon.ListItem.Actions.Controls._children\">". 

   To find the different types avaiable for the Ribbon action, please check the MSDN post Default Server Ribbon Customization Locations

3. For the Document library and Calendar type lists  we need to change only the Location attribute
4. Custom action  image  can be defined by using the propety Image32by32 and Image16by16.   we can give the image from layouts folder or in   base64 string format.
5. using the EnabledScript  attribute we can  enable the custom action based  on the condition.

Document Library:

1)  Add a new button(btn_dlRibbonCustomActions) to the web form(CustomActions.aspx)   created in the  first post 

2)Add the below code in the button click

string Pwd = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Password"].ToString();
                string UserName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Username"].ToString();
                string spsiteurl = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SPSiteUrl"].ToString();
                var secure = new SecureString();
                foreach (char c in Pwd)
                {
                    secure.AppendChar(c);
                }
                using (var clientContext = new ClientContext(spsiteurl))
                {
                    clientContext.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(UserName, secure);
                    var customlist = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("SampleDocuments");
                    clientContext.Load(customlist);
                    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
                    Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UserCustomActionCollection collUserCustomAction = customlist.UserCustomActions;
                    UserCustomAction PublishRibbonaction = collUserCustomAction.Add();
                    PublishRibbonaction.Location = "CommandUI.Ribbon.ListView";
                    PublishRibbonaction.Sequence = 10001;
                    PublishRibbonaction.Title = "CustomListRibbonAction";
                    PublishRibbonaction.CommandUIExtension = @"<CommandUIExtension><CommandUIDefinitions>"
                      + "<CommandUIDefinition  Location=\"Ribbon.Documents.Copies.Controls._children\">"
                    + "<Button Id=\"InvokeAction.Button\" TemplateAlias=\"o1\" Command=\"EditFormButtonCommand\" CommandType=\"General\" LabelText=\"CustomListRibbonAction\"  Image32by32=\"_layouts/15/images/placeholder32x32.png\" Image16by16=\"_layouts/15/images/placeholder16x16.png\" />"
                           + "</CommandUIDefinition>"
                           + "</CommandUIDefinitions>"
                           + "<CommandUIHandlers>"
                           + "<CommandUIHandler Command =\"EditFormButtonCommand\" CommandAction = \"javascript:OpenPopUpPageWithTitle('https://tarundev.sharepoint.com/sites/sharepointmates/_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx', RefreshOnDialogClose, 600, 400,'CustomList Ribbon');\"  EnabledScript=\"javascript: SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems().length >= 1\" /> "
                            + "</CommandUIHandlers></CommandUIExtension>";
                    PublishRibbonaction.Update();
                    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
                    lbl_Success.Text = "Document Library Ribbon  Action  Created Successfully";
