You can use this as extension method (and your own method to load your icon):

public static RibbonMenuButton AddMenuButton(this RibbonRowPanel rowPanel, string buttonId, string buttonText, string iconName) { RibbonMenuButton menuButton = new RibbonMenuButton(); menuButton.Text = buttonText; menuButton.Orientation = System.Windows.Controls.Orientation.Horizontal; menuButton.Size = RibbonItemSize.Standard; menuButton.ShowText = true; menuButton.LargeImage = LoadImage(iconName, 32, 32); menuButton.Image = LoadImage(iconName, 16, 16); menuButton.ShowImage = true; menuButton.ListButtonStyle = Autodesk.Private.Windows.RibbonListButtonStyle.MenuButton; menuButton.Id = buttonId; rowPanel.Items.Add(menuButton); rowPanel.Items.Add(new RibbonRowBreak()); return menuButton; }

I use this extension:

public static void AddButtonToDropDown(this RibbonMenuButton menuButton, string buttonId, string buttonText, string description, string iconName, string command) { RibbonMenuItem button = new RibbonMenuItem(); button.Text = buttonText; button.ShowText = true; button.ShowImage = true; button.LargeImage = LoadImage(iconName,, 32, 32); button.Image = LoadImage(iconName, 16, 16); button.Id = buttonId; button.CommandParameter = command; button.Description = description; button.CommandHandler = new AdskCommandHandler(); menuButton.Items.Add(button); }

With this CommandHandler:

public class AdskCommandHandler : System.Windows.Input.ICommand { public bool CanExecute(object parameter) { return true; } public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged; public void Execute(object parameter) { var ribbonItem = parameter as RibbonCommandItem; if (ribbonItem != null) { Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Document doc = AcAp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; //Make sure the command text either ends with ";", or a " " string cmdText = ((string)ribbonItem.CommandParameter).Trim(); if (!cmdText.EndsWith(";")) cmdText = cmdText + " "; doc.SendStringToExecute(cmdText, true, false, true); } } }
