Does anyone know if we can set a default value in the dropdown menu in a new
ribbon in Excel 2007 (like Arial is the default value for Fonts dropdown menu
in Excel 2003). I am having a hard time finding the code for it. I am
developing the ribbon in Office 2007 Custom UI Editor.

Thanks,
hitmonkong

You can see it in the workbook I send you

Hi again,

just found it - and for everyone who's looking this up - found it
he http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...20Advanced.htm

getSelectedItemIndex= has to be set...

sample:

<dropDown id="DD1" label="Run Macro"

getItemCount="RibbonControl.GetItemCount"

getItemLabel="RibbonControl.GetItemLabel"

getSelectedItemIndex="RibbonControl.GetSelectedIte mIndex"
onAction="RibbonControl.MyDDMacro" /


'Callback DropDown GetSelectedIndex
Sub GetSelectedItemIndex(ByVal control As IRibbonControl, ByRef Index)
'This procedure is used to ensure the first item in the dropdown is
selected when the control is displayed
Index = 0
End Sub

kind regards
