Hello Dave,
We need to use the getLabel attribute to set the call back function which
will help us to change the label text dynamically.
I achieve this by using the following xml customization codes
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customUI xmlns="
http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"
onLoad="Ribbon_Load">
<ribbon>
<tabs>
<tab id="MyTab" getLabel="GetLabel">
<group id="MyGroup"
label="My Group">
</group>
</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
</customUI>
and the following codes in the Connect.cs file
public Office.IRibbonUI ribbon;
private Word.Application applicationObject;
private bool firstFlag = true;
public void Ribbon_Load(Office.IRibbonUI ribbonUI)
{
this.ribbon = ribbonUI;
}
public string GetLabel(Office.IRibbonControl control)
{
if (firstFlag)
{
firstFlag = false;
return "My Default Tab Name";
}
return applicationObject.Selection.Text;
}
public void OnConnection(object application,
Extensibility.ext_ConnectMode connectMode,
object addInInst, ref System.Array custom)
{
applicationObject = application as Word.Application;
applicationObject.WindowSize += new
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationEvents4_WindowSizeEventHandler(appl
icationObject_WindowSize);
}
void applicationObject_WindowSize(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document
Doc, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Window Wn)
{
this.ribbon.Invalidate();
}
I use the WindowSize event as a trigger. Whenever I resize my Word main
window, we call the ribbon.Invalidate function which cause all call back
functions called. Then we can return the expected new Tab label in the
GetLabel function. Note that we can only change the custom tab's label,
rather than the system built-in tab like "TabHome", "TabAddIns"...
