Drop-down menu-button?

[Lloyd Harold]

Hello,

I originally posted this in
microsoft.public.vstudio.development
but didn't get much of a response.

I can't seem to get this "menu-button"
control right in VS 2005. I don't know
if it exists as a .NET control or not.
Ideally I would like the button to be flat
until the mouse pointer is over it at which
point it pops up a bit to look like a normal
button. When I push the button it toggles down,
buttons below it are slid down a bit, and an
associated (context)menu drops down from
the pushed button (this menu is "attached"
to the bottom edge of the pushed/toggled
button). When you push the same button again
it toggles back up, the (context)menu "rolls
back up" into the button and the buttons below
it slide back up to where they first were.
It would be kind of like the Toolbox's
expanding buttons in VS 2005.
Thank for any help,

Lloyd

Well this is a VB6 group... You need a 'dotnet' group.
