Public Interface RibbonDropDownItem

Attributes: GuidAttribute

Remarks

A RibbonDropDownItem object contains all the data necessary to visually represent an item in a list in a RibbonComboBox, RibbonDropDown, or RibbonGallery. RibbonDropDownItem items have a label and, optionally, an associated image. They can also have a Screen Tip and Enhanced Screen Tip, which are both descriptions that appear when the user pauses the mouse pointer over a control.

You can create a RibbonDropDownItem at run time by using the CreateRibbonDropDownItem method of the RibbonFactory object.

There are two ways to access the RibbonFactory object:

By using the Factory property of the Ribbon class. Use this approach from code in your Ribbon class.
By using the Globals.Factory.GetRibbonFactory method. Use this approach from code outside your Ribbon class.

Note

This interface is implemented by the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. It is not intended to be implemented in your code. For more information, see Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime Overview.
