Remarks

When you add a new Ribbon (Visual Designer) item to an Office project, Visual Studio adds a Ribbon class that inherits from RibbonBase to the project. RibbonBase contains methods and properties that are common to all Ribbon classes. For more information, see Ribbon Designer.

Some properties of RibbonBase can be set only before the Ribbon is loaded into the Office application. For information about setting these properties, see Ribbon Object Model Overview.

Usage

This type is used only in Office projects that target the .NET Framework 4 or later. The assembly that defines this type is not part of the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. You must deploy this assembly with your solution. For more information, see Assemblies in the Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime.
