How can I create a custom drop down like Word Themes?

Hi

I'm wondering if there's some way to create a custom drop down form like the form where the user can choose a Theme for a Word document. I have looked at the drop down gallery, etc but I need to have much more control over what controls are placed on the drop down, etc.

Basically I just need to be able to position a form in the correct place when the user clicks the button. Is there some way to get the co-ordinates of the button that gets clicked on a ribbon in Word? If not, is there some other way I can reproduce something very similar to the theme selection drop down?

Cheers,
Michael

I know you've all been racking your brains trying help me with a solution, so I'm going to put you out of your misery but saying I decided that I needed more than a one click interaction so a ribbon gallery is not appropriate.

M$ tackle these UI requirements with a dialog or a task pane, so that's what I've decided to do as well.

You can all sleep easy again now :)

Cheers,
Michael
