How to create msoControlSplitButtonPopup type button?

[Vladimir Chtchetkine]

I can vaguely remember seeing a code that does that (adds a toolbar with a
button that has an "arrow" to its right, just like "New" button in Outlook).
Anyway, when I try to do it by simply calling
Add(msoControlSplitButtonPopup,.) on my toolbar's CommanBarControls I'm
getting an error (E_INVALIDARG).

For now I'm fine with creating msoControlPopup but this doesn't allow me to
put a picture next to caption which breaks the entire UI look. So, if
anybody can advice me on that this would be great!



TIA,



Vladimir

OK, I found a remark that you can't do it...
Hmmmm.... But "New" button in outlook IS type 13!.

There are problems with that control type when you try to create it in your
code. Even if it's done by Outlook itself, unfortunately we can't do it.
