Word Vsto determine if Navigation Pane is visible

I'm developing a Word Vsto 2013+ with C# and I'm using Ribbon xml. Now I want to get the state of a built-in checkbox. The idMso is NavigationPaneShowHide and it is located in the GroupViewShowHide groupbox in the TabView tab.

I tried to 'overwrite' the onAction callback of the checkbox, but it didn't worked.

Solution

  • You can check the visibility of the navigation pane like this:

    CommandBar navPane = app.CommandBars["Navigation"];
// check navPane.Visible;

    I don't believe there is a way to look at a built-in ribbon checkbox.
