VSTO Call ThisAddIn Method from Ribbon Class

I have a simple Problem. I have a litte Outlook AddIn. Now I want to add a Ribbon to it, for manually executing a Method.

public partial class ThisAddIn
{
    Outlook.NameSpace outlookNameSpace;
    Outlook.MAPIFolder inbox;
    Outlook.Items items;
    Outlook.MAPIFolder destinationFolder = null;
    Outlook.MAPIFolder rootFolder = null;
    //Outlook.Folders rootFolderFolders = null;
    Outlook.Store store = null;



    protected override Microsoft.Office.Core.IRibbonExtensibility CreateRibbonExtensibilityObject()
    {
        return new MyRibbon();
    }



    private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {

        outlookNameSpace = this.Application.GetNamespace("MAPI");
        inbox = outlookNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox);
        items = inbox.Items;
        items.ItemAdd += new Outlook.ItemsEvents_ItemAddEventHandler(Items_ItemAdd);

    }

       public void RibbonAction()
        {

            MessageBox.Show("Action Found Class");
            Outlook.Explorer currentExplorer = null;
            currentExplorer = this.Application.ActiveExplorer();


        }

And MyRibbon.cs

public class MyRibbon : Office.IRibbonExtensibility
    {
        private Office.IRibbonUI ribbon;

        public MyRibbon()
        {
        }

        public void OnTextButton(Office.IRibbonControl control)
        {
                        
thisAddIn.RibbonAction();

        }

I want to iterate through the the selected Items in the Outlook explorer. It seems I can not do this in MyRibbon, so I want to implement the Method in thisAddIn. But Visual Studio let me not do this.

Since it looks like you don't use the function RibbonAction() in the class ThisAddIn, delete it here and insert the function directly in the class MyRibbon.

To get the ActiveExplorer somewhere else as in ThisAddIn class you can use the following code:

Outlook.Explorer activeExplorer = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveExplorer();
