  Add a text box to the ribbon, bind the label property of the control to a setting in your application.settings. If you then change that setting elsewhere in the application, the UI does not reflect the changed setting. You have to restart the application for the changes to show in the UI. (This may be true for other controls in the ribbon as well)

  Hi John,

  According to the development team, RibbonItems are components rather than controls, which is why they do not support DataBinding.

  When you try binding the Label property of a RibbonTextBox to an application setting, it gets set as a static value instead of enabling the binding. This is why the RibbonTextBox’s label does not update when the application setting changes.

  Unfortunately, there is not workaround for this, as it is a design/platform limitation.
