You can use either CUIx API or Runtime Ribbon API to create Ribbon in AutoCAD. The former is to programmatically manipulate CUIx to modify ribbon, while the latter is to create Ribbon outside CUIx.

There is an Autodesk University 2009 courseware on this topic (CP204-2), which explains how to use the 2 sets of API in depth. It can still be found on the Internet for download:

Thanks

I have worked out how to create the ribbons and add the button's but now i need to create a split button

I have had a look round again but can only find how to do it in C# and not vb.net

This is part of the code i am using

    Private Sub addPanel1(ByVal ribTab As RibbonTab)
        'create the panel source
        Dim ribSourcePanel As New RibbonPanelSource()
        ribSourcePanel.Title = "StorPlanner"
        'now the panel
        Dim ribPanel As New RibbonPanel()
        ribPanel.Source = ribSourcePanel
        ribTab.Panels.Add(ribPanel) 
      
        Dim ribbonbutton4 As New RibbonButton()
        ribbonbutton4.Text = "Circle"
        ribbonbutton4.ShowText = False
        ribbonbutton4.CommandParameter = "CIRCLE "
        ribbonbutton4.ShowImage = True
        ribbonbutton4.CommandHandler = New AdskCommandHandler()

        Dim ribbonbutton5 As New RibbonButton()
        ribbonbutton5.Text = "DialogLauncher"
        ribbonbutton5.CommandParameter = "properties "
        ribbonbutton5.ShowText = True
        ribbonbutton5.ShowImage = True
        ribbonbutton5.CommandHandler = New AdskCommandHandler()

        'and add it to source
        ribSourcePanel.DialogLauncher = ribbonbutton5
        ribSourcePanel.Items.Add(ribbonbutton4)
        ribSourcePanel.Items.Add(New RibbonSeparator())
        ribSourcePanel.Items.Add(ribbonbutton5)
        ribSourcePanel.Items.Add(New RibbonSeparator())

  End Sub
