title: Is there a way to access a Ribbon (XML) at run time?
body: <p>I'm working on a Word 2007 app-level add-in. So far, I haven't experienced major obstacles except for converting the add-in's Ribbon interface to XML. I have to use Ribbon XML because the feature I'm working on can only be done this way. The problem is that by switching to Ribbon XML I can no longer access the interface at run time via Globals.Ribbons. This link <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb772088.aspx" rel="noreferrer">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb772088.aspx</a> does a good job explaining how to access a Visual Designer Ribbon but it completely ignores the XML Ribbon case. Specifically, I need to be able to access some visual controls such as labels. How can I achieve this?</p>
