I have an excel addin that has a bunch of buttons and functions in it. Part of this is a togglebutton on the ribbon that i would like to use to change a pivot table to use dollars versus hours as the displayed values...

I would like the items to change between a bank icon and a clock icon.

I have the ribbonUI defined as below (i only have the toggle button here, there's a lot more):

VBA Code:
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui" >
    <ribbon startFromScratch="false">
        <tabs>
            <tab id="customTab" label="Checkbox Tab" insertBeforeMso="TabHome" getVisible="RibbonVisible">
                <group id="GroupAdditionalButtons" label="Filter Functions">
                    <toggleButton id="buttonToggleHoursDollars" getImage="getImageHoursDollars" onAction="ToggleHoursDollars"
                            getScreentip="GetScreentipHoursDollars" getSupertip="getSupertipHoursDollars" size="large" />
                </group>
            </tab>
        </tabs>
    </ribbon>
</customUI>

I have loaded the images into the ribbon as far as i can tell...

(note: i changed the xml to use image="bank" and it shows fine, but i can't toggle it that way- i just did this to see if it was loaded)

I then am using a named range in the worksheet within the addin and the getImageHoursDollars is:
VBA Code:
Sub getImageHoursDollars(control As IRibbonControl, ByRef returnedVal)
Dim PivotDataWS As Worksheet, R As Range
    
    Set PivotDataWS = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("PivotFilters")
    Set R = f_CellRef("HoursOrDollars", PivotDataWS)
    
    If R = "Hours" Then
        returnedVal = "clock"
    Else
        R = "bank"
    End If
    
MsgBox "Setting image to display " & R

End Sub

The image however never displays (though "Setting image to display bank" or "...hours" does work fine...

ALSO, the caption and supertip never display either...
VBA Code:
'Callback for buttonToggleHoursDollars getScreentip
Sub GetScreentipHoursDollars(control As IRibbonControl, ByRef returnedVal)
Dim PivotDataWS As Worksheet, R As Range
    
    Set PivotDataWS = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("PivotFilters")
    Set R = f_CellRef("HoursOrDollars", PivotDataWS)
    
    If R = "Hours" Then
        R = "Display in dollars"
    Else
        R = "Display in hours"
    End If
End Sub

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
I would like to use the toggle button functionality for this, but poking around other places i saw someone with the same issue just uses two different normal buttons and uses getvisible to swap between the two. That seems viable so i'll do that.
