CommandBarButton with icon, caption and popup menu

[manojkurien]

I'm trying to add a button of type msoControlPopup to a custom Outlook
commandbar. I need this button to be able to display an icon, as well
as a Caption. Also this button has sub items under it. It should look
exactly like the New / Send Receive buttons on the standard Outlook
toolbar (icon, Caption and popup menu). From what I've read on other
threads in this group, It is not possible to assign an icon to a
CommandBarButton of type msoControlPopup. It is also not possible to
create a button of type msoControlSplitButtonPopup , which is
apparently what the New / Send Receive buttons are. Is there any way
this functionality could be achieved using a standard
CommandBarButton? Or more specifically, since I can add a
CommandBarButton to the toolbar with both an icon and a caption, is
there any way to make it display a popup menu when it is clicked?

Thanks in advance,
Manoj

You can do whatever you want when the button is clicked, but you'd have to
display a popup menu in a separate form. It wouldn't be a normal
CommandBarPopup control menu.
