I know how to do the whole toolbar button thing in code like this
Dim DropdownButton as new ToolButton
DropDownButton.Style=ToolButton.ToolStyleDropDown
DropDownButton.Caption="Select"
DropDownButton.Icon = select_32x32

//create a menu
Dim myMenu as New MenuItem
Dim myMenuItem1 as New MenuItem
Dim myMenuItem2 as New MenuItem
Dim myMenuitem3 as New MenuItem

DropDownButton.Name="Cities Menu"
MyMenu.Text="Cities"

MyMenuItem1.Text="Edmonton"
MyMenuItem2.Text="Calgary"
MyMenuitem3.Text="Red Deer"
Mymenu.Append myMenuItem1
MyMenu.Append myMenuItem2
MyMenu.Append myMenuItem3
//assign the new menu to the toolitem..
DropDownButton.DropdownMenu=myMenu
//add to the toolbar
Me.Append DropDownButton

 however I tried the toolbar editor and it baffles me. I add a toolbutton in 
the editor, set it's style to dropdown button - but then how do I add the menu? 

I tried the following in the action and open event of the toolbar

//create a menu
Dim myMenu as New MenuItem
Dim myMenuItem1 as New MenuItem
Dim myMenuItem2 as New MenuItem
Dim myMenuitem3 as New MenuItem

MyMenu.Text="Cities"

MyMenuItem1.Text="Edmonton"
MyMenuItem2.Text="Calgary"
MyMenuitem3.Text="Red Deer"
Mymenu.Append myMenuItem1
MyMenu.Append myMenuItem2
MyMenu.Append myMenuItem3
//assign the new menu to the toolitem..
DropDownButton.DropdownMenu=myMenu


The IDE steadfastly insists that the toolbutton DropDownButton doesn't exist. 
What am I missing here?

Thanks

Markus
