Prerequisites

We recommend you go through A 'hello world' C# program before going into this example.

Background

You can subscribe to events of Dynamic RibbonX controls by using .NET events or .NET delegates. Here, we show how it can be done by using .NET delegates.

  • Every Dynamic RibbonX control has an associated *Delegates class in namespace LogismiX.DynamicRibbonX.Core which exposes all delegates used by the control for its callbacks.
  • Visual Studio 2012 allows you to automatically insert delegate stubs based on their signature instead of typing the code (and double-checking the signature) manually. For earlier versions of Visual Studio, we recommend you use events whose stubs can be inserted automatically instead, where possible.
