Hello,
Is it possible to put a ckeckbox in a custom ribbon menu? It's accepted in the xml file but not in word. I can only see the label, not the checkbox itself.

Have you checked the option to show interface errors? We can't help you debug your code if we can't see it.

Thanks for your feedback Italophile!

I'll answer my question and close the thread:

- In fact in ribbon, a <checkbox.../> placed in a <box.../> element of a <group.../> element, does not have the same appearance as a <checkbox.../> placed in a <menu.../> element of a <box.../> element (see image, this is just an example
). The former has a standard appearance, the latter is simply a checkmark.

- Management is the same, with the same getPressed, onAction and getLabel callbacks. However, as the appearance is different, if the box is checked, a check mark will indicate this (without the contours of a small square), and if not, only the label will appear.

Are you coding this using XML? If so, see Ribbon Custom Icons as well as Customize the Office Ribbon (It doesn't take rocket science) and Dynamic Ribbon Menu by Greg Maxey.
