Creating Picture for a CommandBarPopup

[Michael Hlavinka]

How do you assign a picture for a CommandBarPopup. I
know how to make the assignment for a CommandBarButton
but not a CommandBarPopup.

I have a toolbar in which I'm adding a control for a
custom action of type msoControlPopup. I can
successfully add the popup to the toolbar and command bar
buttons to the popup. However, I'd like to assign a
picture to the popup on the toolbar rather than having
the caption text displayed due to its length.

A CommandBarPopup apparently is not a CommandBarButton
because a QI fails. This prevents the Picture property
of the CommandBarButton from being used.

How can this be done?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Thank you for posting in MSDN managed newsgroup!

From my understanding to this issue, you have successfully created one commandbarPopup control and then you are going to add the icon to the
menu subitem of the commandbarpopup.

If so, I¡¯d suggest one kb article regarding this topic will hellp you a lot. This article contains the sample code for you to create one commandbarpopup
menu with icons. Please go to:
Custom Button Faces in a Managed Code Add-in for the Microsoft Office System

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.

No that's not what I'm looking for. That shows how to
assign a picture to a submenu item (which I have already
done). I want to know how to assign a picture to the
popup itself. The popup itself is anchored in the
toolbar, not the submenu items. The submenu items only
display when the popup is clicked. Without being able to
assign a picture to the popup in the toolbar, the caption
text consumes too much space of the toolbar.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for replying and more information about this issue!

So far as I know, the popup object itself doesn't have the property to set the icon. This is to say, we can't specify one icon for the popup itself.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.
