Hello Folks; here's a quick question for you:
I know that you can change the ribbon theme in runtime, but can you change the system button style at runtime also?
You know, like change it from the "Orb" to the rectangular blue item.
Also, how could you do this from another sub other than commandbars_execute?

I assumed that but how would I call it? I normal use the "CommandBars.findcontrol (type, ID) but that just doesn't seem to work with the Ribbon system button.

There are a couple of ways that you can do this. The easiest is:
As it seems that the Ribbon is Item #1 in the commandbars control collection. However, I don't think that this is the safest way, as you can't guarantee that CJ will always maintain the Ribbon in that position. IMHO, a better option would be to store a reference to the Ribbon control in a module level variable when you create it, such as: In the General Declarations section:
In the sub where you add the ribbon bar:
And then when you want to change the ribbon style:

Okay. Since you said there was no guarantee for the first option I went ahead and tried the second one.
And guess what? It works great! It's nice to get some real support around here ever once and a while.
Well, I'm off to try that other option for combined command buttons.
Thanks jpbro, I really appreciate it!
