Understanding Markup Compiler Messages
The Windows Ribbon framework (Ribbon) markup compiler, UI Command Compiler (UICC.exe), validates the Ribbon markup against both the Ribbon schema and an additional set of rules defined by the Ribbon framework.
Validation Messages
The following validation messages are generated during compilation. See Compiling Ribbon Markup, for more information.
Note
The /W{0\1\2} command-line option can be specified to filter event messages based on severity.
Validation Errors
Error event messages indicate issues in the Ribbon markup severe enough for the compiler to discontinue the compilation process. These issues must be resolved for compilation to succeed.
