How do I create Toolbar Dropdown Button?

[Joseph Geretz]

I'm writing an Addin for Outlook using C#. I am able to create the interface
to my Addin by adding Menus and Buttons to the Outlook Menu and Toolbar,
respectively.

I'd like to add one particular button to the Toolbar, but I'd like it to
function like a menu. Basically, like the native 'New' button which has a
small down arrow and drops down to show a list of items (e.g. Mail Message,
Contact, etc.) which can be created.

If you've got a small code snippet to create the button and then add one or
two sub-items, that would be most helpful.

Thanks!

Outlook doesn't support creation of custom "split popup" buttons like that.
