Disable Itens of Custom Ribbon

Hi there!

I used VSTO (Ribbon Visual Designer) to create my custom Ribbon (my custom Ribbon has about 30 buttons).

I set the TAG property of some buttons of my custom Ribbon with the value 'Enabled'.

Depending on some User Actions, I'd like to check the property TAG of each ribbon button and then, disable some ones depending on its contents.

I don't know how to check the TAG property of each 30 buttons and then disable some ones.

Many thanks for any kind of help.

Hello Ciro,

You could access this custom ribbon of office application. Then check Tag property of the buttons and set Enable property. In my side, I have add a item named Ribbon1.cs as below,

            ThisRibbonCollection ribbonCollection = Globals.Ribbons;
            OfficeRibbon ribbon=ribbonCollection.Ribbon1;
            if (ribbonCollection.Ribbon1.button1.Tag == "Enable")
            {
                ribbonCollection.Ribbon1.button3.Enabled = false;
            }

Here is a link about enabling button defined in a Ribbon Xml: Disable/Enable ribbon controls in Word 2007 Addin.
Useful links: Accessing the Ribbon at Run Time.
