Property Value

Type: RibbonControlSize
A Microsoft.Office.Core.RibbonControlSize that represents the size of the button.

Remarks

This property has no effect if the button is part of a menu. A button that is part of a menu is always displayed as if its ControlSize property were set to the value of the parent menu's ItemSize property. To make buttons appear larger on a menu, set the ItemSize property of the RibbonMenu to Microsoft.Office.Core.RibbonControlSize.RibbonControlSizeLarge.

Examples

The following example makes a button appear larger. To run this code example, you must first perform the following steps:

  1. Add a Ribbon (Visual Designer) item to a Visual Studio Tools for Office project.

  2. Add a group to the custom tab.

  3. Add a button to the group.

Private Sub SetButtonProperties()
    Button1.ControlSize = _
        Microsoft.Office.Core.RibbonControlSize.RibbonControlSizeLarge
    button1.Description = "My Ribbon Button" 
End Sub
private void SetButtonProperties()
{
    button1.ControlSize = 
        Microsoft.Office.Core.RibbonControlSize.RibbonControlSizeLarge;
    button1.Description = "My Ribbon Button";
}
