how do I make a ribbon button selected?

[David Thielen]

Like the bold button is in Word when the text the caret is on is
bolded.

Hello Dave,

We call this kind button ToggleButton, which can have two statuses(pressed
and not pressed). To make a toggle button as selected, we need to specify a
callback function for its getPressed property in the Ribbon XML. Then if
you return true from the callback function, the toggle button is selected.
If you return false from the callback function, the toggle button is not
selected.

For an example, we can synchronize a ribbon's toggle button status with a
task pane's visibility. If the task pane is visible, we set the toggle
button selected, if the task pane is invisible, we set the toggle button
unselected. Andrew Whitechapel has blogged this topic here,

Hope this helps and have a nice day!
