Is it possible to access ComponentResourceManager resources in AddinModule?

In the InitializeComponent() function, I see that it gets the resources and then it does a ApplyResources on all the ADX components that was crated and bind them with a look up string.


Basically we have the inspector ribbon defined in the AddinModule's designer, and right now we have a static function in AddinModule to modify anything related to that ribbon. However I don't like that approach, is there a way to gain access to that AddinModule resources from another class?

I've tried to do it like this, but it won't return me the button. 


ComponentResourceManager resources = new ComponentResourceManager(typeof(AddinModule));
ADXRibbonButton btn = resources.GetObject("InspectorButton1") as ADXRibbonButton;


What's the right way to do it?

Hello Eric,

With Ribbon controls, you can only use this approach when the controls are being created.
