  Hi.  I would like to have a RadToggleButtonElement on my ribbon bar, but I would also like it to be able to have items (aka children, aka a dropdown menu).  This may sound strange, but if you open Microsoft Word you'll see what I mean with the "bullet" button - it allows you to turn bullets on or off (toggle), but it also has a dropdown to allow you to set the bullet style.
  
  I don't see the ability to add items to a RadToggleButtonElement in the RadRibbon.  Is there a way to do this in the 2011 Q1 SP1 release (or was it added in 2011 Q2) ?
  
  Thanks!

  Hello Patrick,
  
  Thank you for writing.
  
  You can emulate such a behavior by using RadSplitButtonElement and customize its appearance when pressed, to emulate toggle state. Please refer to the attached project, where you can observe sample implementation.
  
  I hope that you find this information useful. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
