add ribbon button like "Open" with drop-down options

Question

I'm hoping this is just a simple pointer to something existing which I couldn't locate via google.

What our business folks want is a button much like the "Open" button which once clicked, gives a pull-down with 3 options. I can't quite figure out how to pull that off.

I can easily add a button. I can even add a stack of 3 "small" buttons vertically. I can't quite figure out the drop-down from large button. One of our folks thought he did this a long time ago, but can't find any evidence to prove it. ;)

Can anyone point me to what I missed? or, anyone confirm that it's not possible?

thanks,

Answer 1

Unfortunately that is implemented in a different way than how normal buttons are added to the ribbon. I am basing this on the answers I received here:

Is it possible to remove the "Upload MM Component" button from the SDL Tridion 2011 Ribbon

It seems you will need to create an ASCX to achieve this.
