Microsoft Visio VBA CustomUI Ribbon help - Changing Default Value of EditBox

Question

I have a customUI Ribbon with an EditBox and want to set the default value when the User opens the Visio template file.

Basically I expect my Editbox text to have its default text updated through its getText callback function but it does not happen.

Microsoft forum will not let me post code properly for some reason, but here is a cross post link:

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Answer 1

getText is the right idea. Note that all ribbon xml is case sensitive.
In some cases you need to use this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/office.iribbonui.invalidatecontrol
