When the WindowActivate() event fires you can use the window passed to you
(wn) to get the document in the window and then call Invalidate() or
InvalidateControl(idMSO) to force your ribbon callbacks to be called. There
you can set the visible and enabled properties of the items as well as
switch ribbon icons and labels, etc.

Hi

I'm trying to replace the funtionality from an old Word 2003 commandbar to
the new Ribbon-technology in Word 2007 in a large VB6 COM Addin project.
I have figured out how to create the Ribbon Tab with XML (Thank you Ken
Slovak) and get it to call procedures in the COM Addin like the old
inteface,
but one thing I can't figure out:

When the user switch between documents (thru oApp_WindowActivate event),
some of the functions in the Ribbon must be disabled, depending of the
type
of document.
The type of document is project related to the customers document handling
system, and the disabling and enabling of functions in the Ribbon tab is
essential to this applications interface.

How can this be done?

Thanks in advance
