From a logical point of view You’re correct (and that’s why I also decided to single it out to get feedback on it).

With B2 I’ve not been able to do it while with B2TR it seems to work ‘as expected’.

I’ll update the articles asap however I need to re-write the VB.NET project as Excel 2007 B2TR refuse to acceept it as a valid add-in!

The B2TR, so far, looks very impressive :)

Kind regards,
Dennis

Very impressive, as usual from you…

I’m curious about what you wrote here, however:

“What is most notable is that when using ‘managed’ COM add-ins we can mix built-in images with customized which seems not to be the case when working with VBA or with COM Add-ins developed with classic VB.”

Are you sure that this is right? What hapens if you attempt this from a COM Add-in? I would think that using a COM dll would be equivalent becaues IRibbonExtensibility is actually a COM interface and so it is really .NET which is being ported to the interface via the Interop, not the other way around… Not that I don’t trust you! But I was wondering what happens with COM in your experience?

Great set of articles though. You and Tushar have really shed a lot of light…
