How can I add the images to button using the ribbon xml?

.net, c#, ribbon, vsto

Solution

You have to use `getImage` property for each button and the callback should return bitmap.

In Ribbon.xml

<button id="btnLogo" getImage="imageSuper_GetImage" size="large" />

Ribbon.cs

public Bitmap imageSuper_GetImage(IRibbonControl control)
        {
            return Resources.super_logo;
        }
