Ribbon Button Specs

Ribbon ButtonSpecs

Use ButtonSpec definitions when you need to add additional buttons to the left or right side of the ribbon tabs. Figure 1 shows an example of the ribbon with a ButtonSpec defined for the Near side with the text Spec1 and a ButtonSpec defined for the Far side called Spec2. You are not limited to just using text and can use any combination of text and Image properties. For a more detailed explanation of all the different ButtonSpec properties see this link.
