I create a commandbar on EXPLORER and the it have a button, the button have
two state icon. Now in any new INSPECTOR also have the same button(Ribbon).
EXPLORER is full screen, and new mail's INSPECTOR is smaller than EXPLORER ,
and i can see the both of the two button. I change the button state icon in
INSPECTOR, and also change the button icon on EXPLORER by code. At this time,
INSPECTOR is the active window, its icon changed quickly, but EXPLORER 's
icon not changed, unless i click the EXPLORER and make its window as active
one, is this a bug of outlook2007? How could i make both icon change as soon
as i click the button.

What does this have to do with RibbonX refresh? The Inspector ribbon control
is updating, isn't it?

For the Explorer, activate it, update it and then deactivate it. Otherwise
wait for it to be activated for the refresh to occur.

It seems that this is just the working way for ribbon. Right? But in
outlook2003, the button icon change as soon as i make some change on it by
code.(yeah, i want it to change).

Are you calling Invalidate or specifically invalidating that control? If you
are then that's just the way things work with the ribbon. Personally I find
a lot of limitations in programming and working with the ribbon and don't
find it a very satisfactory way to do things. But since it's not up to me I
have to live with it.
