I am using VC++ 2010 targeting XP and up and would like to dynamically change the ribbon bar which was created using the ribbon designer:

1) change the ICON when a user clicks on an item and then change it back when clicked again.

2) change the text label when a user clicks on an item and change it back when clicked again. I can already do for the main ribbon bar but how do I do it for the same item in the quick access toolbar and application button list?

So you're writing an extension for an office application? If so, which one?

Well I'm not quite sure, what you're doing, but I'll assume you're writing an office AddIn...
Have a look at msdn.
On that page you will also find links to Office control ID lists, that will help you
to get at and modify builtin controls, to a certain extent, if that's what you're aiming at.

I think I have found the answer to my question in the Fluent UI Guidelines for the 2007 Ribbon Design:

They suggest that controls displayed in a group must not change as a result of selection and to disable (gray out), rather than remove them from the group.
