Hi, I have been looking into using a toggle button on a custom ribbon, I have disabled all the ribbon buttons when double click event happens, however instead of the toggle button being greyed out, it actually disappears from the ribbon altogether until the ribbon is refreshed to enable the buttons again.

I have tried it in excel 2007, 2010 and 2016 but still happens on all 3. I know it has something to do with refreshing the ribbon as I have invalidated one control and it doesn't disappear, it's only when I refresh the whole ribbon.
Even in the xml I have tried adding and removing the get enabled part but it still happens either way, Can anyone help with this or is this an excel issue

Code below is not finished but works, I know the get enabled isn't in the toggle button code below but it's to show that it still happens without it

XML

XML:
<customUI onLoad="RibbonLoaded_myAddin" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon>
<tabs>
<tab id="MyAddin" label="My Addin">

<group id="GroupA" label="Button Examples 1">
    <checkBox id="CB1" label="Gridlines" getPressed="CB1_getPressed" tag="CheckBox1" getEnabled="CustomEnabled" onAction="CB1_onAction"/>
</group>

<group id="GroupB" label="Button Examples 2">
    <toggleButton id="TB1" getLabel="TB1_getLabel" getPressed="TB1_getPressed" onAction="TB1_onAction" getImage="GetImage" size="large" />
</group> 

</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
</customUI>
