Hello Johnny,

The missing icon is by MS design. You cannot add it.

I would recommend that you switch to using the Ribbon Context Menu component instead.

i tried the ribbon context, is indeed much better, waste some time on finding our how exactly to show that on the same Inbox context menu that i had my own, but i found it works nice!

question, why do you still have the older context menu? isn't it absolute any more? sure you keep it for compatibility reasons but besides that any other reason?

also is the new context ribbon visible and fully functional in all office versions? 2003-2013/15?

many thanks

regards
John

People still develop add-ins supporting non-Ribbon Office versions.

The Ribbon-based context menu only works in Office 2010-2013. It is supposed to work in Office 2015, if they introduce no breaking changes.
