Accessing Color Galary with adxRibbonCommand

Hello Support Team,

is there a way to somehow access the Excel color galary (to format cells) with adxRibbonCommand.

Or...is there a way to add a this galary to a custom RibbonControl?

Or...is there a way to add a custom (winforms) control to a custom RibbonControl?

Many Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter,

The ADXRibbonCommand allows you to intercept the Button, ToggleButton and CheckBox controls (see the ActionTarget property of the component). Note, the Ribbon UI is a static thing from its birth. You can read more about this in the http://www.add-in-express.com/docs/net-ribbon-components.php section of the online documentation.

1. Yes, you can add a gallery to your own set of ribbon controls specifying the IdMso property. Please take a look at the www.add-in-express.com/docs/net-ribbon-components.php#referring-built-in-ribbon-controls section in the online documentation on this.

2. There is no way to add a windows forms control to the Ribbon UI. It doesn't allow adding any custom controls to the scheme/xml. Instead, you can use http://www.add-in-express.com/add-in-net/office-task-panes.php and place your controls on the task panes instead.
