Ribbon Office Controls Question

[Igor]

I am trying to do something very simple but it does not seem to work. I have
created a new ribbon using ribbon designer in VS2008. I have a custom tab and
all I want to do is to add the DesignMode button to it, which is an Office
control. I don't want to repurpose it or do anything else, just add the
button as it is. Is there any way to do this without manipulating XML at all?

I have tried changing PositionType and setting OfficeID to DesignMode and
also renaming the toggleButton to DesignMode, but neither of those work.

thanks,
Igor

I found a solution and it's:
Globals.ThisDocument.ToggleFormsDesign();
in the click event handler.

As mentioned in another message thread: You'll have better luck getting a good
discussion going in the VSTO forum, when you have problems with VSTO:
