How to access backstage checkbox value in an Office addin?

Question

I have a boolean property Settings.Default.MarkAsRead in the Setting.settings file, which I can access in my Ribbon class. What I\'d like to do is set the value

Answer 1

I didn't find a way to access the xml elements from the Ribbon_Load method, so I've created a boolean property in the ribbon class that I update using the GetPressed and OnAction callbacks:

xml:

<checkBox id="markAsRead" label="Mark as read" 
            onAction="markAsRead_OnAction" getPressed="markAsRead_GetPressed"/>

c#:

    private bool MarkAsRead { get; set; }

    public bool markAsRead_GetPressed(Office.IRibbonControl control)
    {
        this.MarkAsRead = Settings.Default.MarkAsRead;
        return this.MarkAsRead;
    }

    public void markAsRead_OnAction(Office.IRibbonControl control, bool isPressed)
    {
        this.MarkAsRead = isPressed;
    }
