Event Type

Remarks

The LoadImage event enables you to cache images in the Ribbon customization, which can improve performance.

By default, an image is loaded into the Ribbon every time the user displays a tab that contains the image. An image is reloaded any time that you programmatically change the properties of a control on which the image appears.

Use the LoadImage event to assign an image to a control. When the user selects a tab on the Ribbon, the Microsoft Office application uses the cached image. If you modify a control property at run time, the Microsoft Office application will not reload the image on the control. This can give you a small performance gain.

If you want to cache the image of a control, set the ImageName property of the control. The LoadImage event is not raised unless you set the ImageName property of at least one control.
