I have a DevExpress.XtraBars.BarSubItem control in my app. Its caption is 'Acknowledge' and it has two entries ('Acknowledge Selected' and 'Acknowledge All') in the menu that appear when you click the control.

My users would like the control to function more like the 'New' toolbar button in Outlook 2003. Specifically, if the user clicks the little triangle on the right they want the menu to appear (as it is now). But if you click the word 'New' then it will do the default action (eg when in the Inbox default action will be 'New -> Mail Message'). So they want clicking on 'Acknowledge' to do 'Acknowledge Selected' - but the user to have the option of clicking on the little triangle if they want to 'Acknowledge All'.

Is this possible? Any suggestions?
