Examples
The following example, written in C#, shows two procedures called from the onAction event procedure of a Button control and a ToggleButton control. In the first procedure, the IRibbonControl object representing the control is passed into the procedure and a message box is displayed indicating that the button was pressed along with the ID of the button. The second procedure is similar to the first with the addition of a Boolean parameter indicating that the button was pressed.
<span class="label">public void ButtonOnAction(IRibbonControl control)
MessageBox.Show("Button clicked: " + control.Id);
}
public void ToggleButtonOnAction(IRibbonControl control, bool pressed)
{
...if (pressed)
MessageBox.Show("ToggleButton was switched on.");
else
MessageBox.Show("ToggleButton was switched off.");
}</span>
Remarks
The IRibbonControl object contains the name (ID) of the control and the current Window object for the Ribbon UI control.
