Dynamically set Selected Item for RibbonComboBox (on runtime)?

Question

How to set selected-item programatically for RibbonComboBox in VSTO? I use C#.

i.e.

myRibbonCB.SelectedItem = "label-name";

doesnt exist.

You need to define callbacks in the ribbon and implement those callbacks in your C# code. Try the following link for a C# VSTO example: http://blogs.infoextract.in/office-ribbon-customization-vsto-using-c/

In short:

Ribbon XML:

<toggleButton id="toggleButton1" onAction="OnActionCallback" />

C#:

public void OnActionCallback(Office.IRibbonControl control, bool isPressed)
{
    if (control.Id == "checkBox1")
    {
        MessageBox.Show("You clicked " + control.Id);
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("You clicked a different control.");
    }
}
