Is it possible to make a PulldownButton within a PulldownButton ?

[dante.van.wettum]

In the ribbon i want to add a PulldownButton with several children as pushbuttons.

now i want to add some sub-children to one of those push-buttons so i was thinking of making a PulldownButton within the current PulldownButton.

it seems that the PulldownButton only accepts adding pushbutton ?

is there some way of making this ?

Unfortunately it seems this is not possible.

I tried doing it with the use of AdWindows.dll and I succeeded in adding it, but it just adds a button to it that does nothing. The dropdown list doesn't get added so it's useless.

I created a new PullDownButton next to my original splitbutton with the same items in it.

Then I added a clone of itself and my original splitbutton to it, but both didn't work out.

See attachment. You'll see the 2 new buttons at the bottom, but there is no pulldown list when I click them.

Dear Dante,

Thank you for your query, and thanks to Jan for his research and answer.

The ADN Xtra Labs 2_Revit_UI_API material covers just about all the user interface functionality that can be achieved using the Revit API:

I hope this helps.
