Hi,

 

Is it possible to create a button structure like this?

 

I want a popup-up button like the image shows and then inside there are more popupbuttons that show multiple buttons.

 

Example as in the image

 

* Add Accessories

 

** Trunnion

*** Type 1

*** Type 2

 

** Nameplate

I'm not sure about these 3-steps buttons, I guess I've seen it already somewhere so it shouldn't be a problem.

 

But first I'd look into other (more user friendly) options:

 

1) Place all your buttons in a form and reduce all the ribbon buttons to one (to open the form).

2) Use a combobox to select what you want to add (and add it immediately or after clicking another button).

If you have many item types:

3) Use search bar to look for what you want to add, filter the results into a combobox and re-use option 2)

4) Combine all of these into a form with search bar, maybe some tabs with categories.

 

I'm personally using the 4th option as I have thousands of part types to manage.

Consider using "Accept as Solution" / "Kudos" if you find this helpful.
