In the Ribbonbar Builder, it generates XML file with names of events to trigger on Clicked event. How is this XML file deployed if users could change the event names by editing the XML file to access windows that they may not have access to? They could guess window names such as w_employee, w_department, etc.

Since the XML file has Clicked event names for menu items, how can we stop others from manipulating the XML file Clicked event names from accessing unauthorized areas of the application by just modifying the XML file? I'm wondering about event names that can be guessed like employee, department, etc.

Hi Sanjay,
Have you downloaded the demo to experience it yet? In the demo, it shouldn’t have the problem you mentioned.
The ribbon item controls have no event and must be bound with user events.

Different ribbon controls have different requirements on the number of parameters and types of the user event. For how to define the Clicked user event for ribbon controls, see Clicked in PowerScript Reference.
https://docs.appeon.com/pb2019r3/objects_and_controls/ch03s48.html
If you are afraid that the XML file could have been modified, you can load the XML string using the ImportXML function, no need to use the XML file. In this way, you don’t need to deploy the XML file, so you don’t have to worry about it being modified.
You can refer to the following link for detail.

I don't believe that the PFC has any idea what a Ribbon Bar is.
