Call an addin function from a document

[Cresta]

Hello
I have an addin which customizes the ribbon.
When a particular document is opened/closed I would like to call the
myRibbon.InvalidateControl("TabID") in the addin to make the tab visible or
hidden.
I'm presuming the code is with the document in the Document_Open and Close
procedures but I don't know where to start to call the callback function in
the addin.

Does this make sence, if so, any ideas.
Thanks

What kind of Add-in? (VB6, Shared Add-in, VSTO, other?)

If I'm following your scenario correctly, what you need to do is set up event
handlers in your Add-in for the two events.

But you may (also) need to track the DocumentChange event, as well, if you
want the Ribbon to display different content for various open documents.
