RE: RibbonX - programatically enable/disable buttons

Please correct me if I am wrong but that will be called when the Ribbon is
first shown. But I enable/disable controls based on the position of the caret.

Think of the Cut and Copy buttons - they will enable if text is selected and
disable if no text is selected. I need to be able to do the same thing.

So how can I enable/disable the buttons after my ribbon is displayed? It
must be possible because it happens for the Cut and Copy buttons.

Hello Dave,

When you devlop the custom Ribbon control, you could use the getVisiable
callback in the XML to programmatically determine whether to show or hide a
tab.

You could follow the example in the article:
