Add that interface and have Visual Studio automatically implement its
methods for you. Since slowdowns reflect poorly on both Office and the
add-ins, Office provides a feature for COM add-ins known as
demand-loading.
Replacing the menus and command bars of previous versions of Office, the
Ribbon organizes features and functions into context sensitive tabs.
This restriction protects the UI layout and guards add-ins against
conflicts with each other and future versions of Office.
First, you're separating the UI from the code.
Second, it's designed to be forward-compatible with future versions of
Office.
On shutdown, the add-in's registry key is changed to DemandLoad.
The Ribbon codebehind handles the loading of and the events of the
Ribbon.
The Shape object has a TextFrame property that returns a TextFrame
object, which exposes a TextRange object. Images can be stored however
an add-in wants, but in this example let's add the images as embedded
resources just as with the XML. This is where the tag property comes in:
it's a string property that isn't used in the UI, but is passed on to
the add-in's code for use there.
This has numerous advantages for the add-in writer.
