RibbonApplicationButtonItem control

A RibbonApplicationButtonItem control defines the application button in the RibbonBar control. Only one application button is allowed in a ribbon bar, therefore, you can get, set, or remove the application button without needing to insert the application button first or identify the application button by its handle. For more about the application button, see the section called “Introduction to RibbonBar items” in Users Guide.

The RibbonApplicationButtonItem control is the child object of the RibbonBar control, and is the parent object of the RibbonApplicationMenu control (RibbonBar > ApplicationButton > ApplicationMenu > MenuItem). For the hierarchical structure of the ribbon controls and how to get and set them, refer to the section called “Accessing the RibbonBar items in the hierarchy” in Users Guide.
