Create a RibbonControl in code-behind

I'm working on a PowerPoint Add-In project.

I'm trying to create a RibbonToggleButton in code-behind but I can't do it the way I thought, 

RibbonToggleButton toggleButton = new RibbonToggleButton();

Is it possible to create RibbonControls in code-behind and not the RibbonDesigner or RibbonXML?

Solution

  • According to the docs:

    You can create a RibbonToggleButton at run time by using the CreateRibbonToggleButton method of the RibbonFactory object.

    It looks like you get at the RibbonFactory via the RibbonBase.Factory property.
