Hiding the ribbon

[ameetpatel]

Hi

Is there any way of minimizing the ribbon in excel via a c# com add-in? I know that one option might be to replicate CTRL+F1 (with SendKeys.Send("^{F1}")) - but if the ribbon is already minimized, this brings it back. So is there a different way of doing it or alternativelt a way to detect whether the ribbon is already minimized?

Thanks in advance for any leads.
