Creating outlook toolbar and add a toggle button

[thumper808]

Ok...this is the problem: I am trying to create a toolbar in Outlook and then add a 'toggle' button like outlook's Reading Pane button (the kind that when you click on it, it stays 'on' and when you click it again, it goes back to the original state). I couldn't find any objects in the commandbar to do this so I created a ControlDropDown button. I just don't know how to reference the items in the dropdown. I have been wrestling with this for a week, could someone please steer me in the right direction or advice on how to do the 'toggle' button part? Tek-Tips experts have never let me down so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. If you need the code I used, I will be more than happy to post it here. Let me know. Thanks again.
