Hi Guys, 


I would like to read (by C#, but not in plugin) the Ribbon Button Label (HomepageGrid and Form) of some specific entities like "Account", "Contact", "Lead", "Quote", "Product" and so on. So far, i couldn't find the exact label
text of the Ribbon Button.

This is from the RibbonDefinitions XML of Account entity. In the LabelText, it references to some resources with a key "Ribbon.HomepageGrid.account.Record.Status.Activate". But, unfortunately i couldn't locate the source.

"<Button Id="Mscrm.HomepageGrid.account.Activate" ToolTipTitle="$Resources:Ribbon.HomepageGrid.account.Record.Status.Activate"
ToolTipDescription="$Resources(EntityPluralDisplayName):Ribbon.Tooltip.Activate" Command="Mscrm.HomepageGrid.Activate" Sequence="30"
Alt="$Resources:Ribbon.HomepageGrid.account.Record.Status.Activate" LabelText="$Resources:Ribbon.HomepageGrid.account.Record.Status.Activate"
Image16by16="/_imgs/ribbon/Activate_16.png" Image32by32="/_imgs/ribbon/Activate_32.png" TemplateAlias="o2" ModernImage="Activate" SolutionUniqueName="System" />"


Anyone knows where these $Resources file internally stored for any entities and can we read the Label text for different language code from C# code....?


Any advice, tips, or experiences would be very helpful. Thank you in advance!

    Hi @bscarlavai33, Thanks for your response. 

    I have already tried the RetrieveApplicationRibbonRequest and RetrieveEntityRibbonRequest, but the response from these two request didn't serve my purpose as there's no explicit Button Label text there, only the reference.

    This is the response from RetrieveEntityRibbonRequest for the Account entity. And this is just an example for the Activate button in the RibbonDefinition.XML for the HomePageGrid.  

    See here in the LabelText, there is no explicit label text for this Activate button, only a reference named "$Resources:Ribbon.HomepageGrid.account.Record.Status.Activate"

    "<Button Id="Mscrm.HomepageGrid.account.Activate" ToolTipTitle="$Resources:Ribbon.HomepageGrid.account.Record.Status.Activate"
    ToolTipDescription="$Resources(EntityPluralDisplayName):Ribbon.Tooltip.Activate" Command="Mscrm.HomepageGrid.Activate" Sequence="30"
    Alt="$Resources:Ribbon.HomepageGrid.account.Record.Status.Activate" LabelText="$Resources:Ribbon.HomepageGrid.account.Record.Status.Activate"
    Image16by16="/_imgs/ribbon/Activate_16.png" Image32by32="/_imgs/ribbon/Activate_32.png" TemplateAlias="o2" ModernImage="Activate" SolutionUniqueName="System" />"

    So, I am trying to figure out how can I retrieve the Activate button label text from C#, based on the $Resources reference. As of now, I have no concrete idea how to achieve that.
