Set a reference to the current ribbon
I want to begin using the IRibbonUI and IRibbonControl objects but I do not know how to get started.
I was thinking maybe something like
[vba]Dim theRibbon as IRibbonUI
set theRibbon=activedocument.Ribbon
'or
set theRibbon=application.Ribbon[/vba]
I know that that does not exist, but how do I set the ribbon control to the current ribbon?
The web is full of articles about how to create a custom ribbon or modify the ribbon. I do not want to do any of that I just want to work with the current ribbon.
When I am done, I will do something like this
[vba]For each ribControl in theRibbon
debug.print ribControl.id
next RibControl
[/vba]
So, in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, how do I set a reference to the current ribbon?

Use
[VBA]
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"onLoad="Ribbon_OnLoad" >
[/VBA]
in the XML and
[VBA]
Public oRibbon As IRibbonUI
'Callback for customUI.onLoad
Public Sub Ribbon_OnLoad(ribbon As IRibbonUI)
Set oRibbon = ribbon
End Sub
[/VBA]
in a standard module
That way you can use
[VBA]
oRibbon.Invalidate
oRibbon.InvalidateControl
[/VBA]
to have the ribbon update its setting, etc
