Remarks
A combo box presents a user with a text entry field and a list of choices in a drop-down menu.
You can create a RibbonComboBox at run time by using the CreateRibbonComboBox 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 members of this type 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.
