Remarks

The RibbonEditBox control displays a labeled box in which users can type and edit text.

Visual Studio creates an RibbonEditBox object when you drag an EditBox control from the Office Ribbon Controls tab of the Toolbox onto the Ribbon Designer.

You can create a RibbonEditBox at run time by using the CreateRibbonEditBox method of the RibbonFactory object.

There are two ways to access the RibbonFactory object:

  • By using the Factory property of the Ribbon class. Use this approach from code in your Ribbon class.

  • By using the Globals.Factory.GetRibbonFactory method. Use this approach from code outside your Ribbon class.

Some properties of this control can be set only before the Ribbon is loaded into the Office application. For information about setting these properties, see Ribbon Object Model Overview.

Note

This interface is implemented by the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. It is not intended to be implemented in your code. For more information, see Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime Overview.
