Hello. i'm trying to make a commandbar dropdown button with an image in my word+excel addin. since i discovered this button is not exposed to developers, i imitated it, using regular commandbar button with a context menu. only problem is that i want to add the down arrow on the right edge of the button and i can't figure out how to do it. i figured out there's must be a unicode char to do this, so i opened charmap (font tahoma) but i didn't find it there. i asked in msdn forums, Cindy Meister advised me to add the special unicode char "0x2C5". I tried that also, but it only gave me a blank square. is there's any constant that office exposes to add this arrow? is there's any way to enable showing unicode chars? i'd be thankful for every help i get. 10x and good day
Maybe check out the Marlett font (...in particular its characters for 6 or u might be what you're looking for)? It contains a few characters that the usual Windows controls make use of.
