This style (in-ribbon) gallery control is not supported by Office. Please refer to Office Development reference: Creating Dynamic Ribbon Customizations on what can you do with Gallery control.

Button in ribbonbar for Outlook 2013

I try to develop a Outlook Add-Ins (pure js/html app), not an VSTO / COM app with c#.
I found a way to add a button to the ribbonbar, but it seems to be only for Outlook 2016: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/mt267546.aspx
But, is there a way to add a button in the ribbonbar for Outlook 2013?
Can't find anything even on dev.outlook.com...
You need to develop a COM add-in then (VSTO). See Walkthrough: Creating Your First VSTO Add-In for Outlook for more information.
There are two main ways for creating a custom UI in VSTO add-ins:
Walkthrough: Creating a Custom Tab by Using Ribbon XML
Walkthrough: Creating a Custom Tab by Using the Ribbon Designer
Moreover, your ribbon commands can be displayed for Exchange profiles only (where Office Apps can be run). But COM add-ins are run for all kind of profiles in Outlook.

How can we set the width of a dropdown in VSTO Ribbn XML

In my VSTO 2013 Add-In for Office 2010, I am using a dropdown in Ribbon XML. The default width of the dropdown is twice the width of the items in the dropdown. How can I reduce the width? I don't see any option in the Ribbon XML tags for the dropdown that would set the appropriate width.
Make sure that you none of the items don't have spaces in the beginning or end.
The Ribbon extensibility model doesn't provide any attribute or method for setting the width of the DropDown control. It is set automatically based on the items' width and parent ribbon group content.

Is it possible to add a custom button in Sharepoint 2010 Ribbon just for a specific page?

Is it possible to add a custom button in Sharepoint 2010 Ribbon just for a specific page?
I found many examples about adding a custom button in Sharepoint 2010 Ribbon via CustomActions (XML) in Visual Studio 2010, but nothing about adding it in a specific page.
As far as I know this not possible via custom actions.
However, you could write a delegate control that creates your ribbon button through code.
SharePoint 2010 Fluent Ribbon API helps you creating ribbon elements programmatically.
To see how you can do what Stefan suggests, you can take a look at Part 2 of my blog post series here. In the same way, you can check the current page in your server side code so that you can show/hide a ribbon button.

Add Outlook Explorer ribbon in a Outlook 2007 add in?

I'm writing a Outlook 2007 add in which works in Outlook 2007 AND 2010(one build is supposed to work for both versions) - everything works perfect right now except for one thing:
Outlook 2007 doesn't have a ribbon in the main Outlook Explorer window, but Outlook 2010 does.
If I create a new Ribbon (Visual Designer) I can't choose Microsoft.Outlook.Explorer as my RibbonType för the Ribbon, so is there any way I can add a ribbon to the Outlook Explorer window in Outlook 2010 from a Outlook 2007-add in?
When you multitarget like this, I believe you have to fall back to the using IExtensibility, and intercept the GetCustomUI callback yourself to supply (or not supply) any ribbon modification xml.
At least, that's what I had to do with my addin that targeted versions 2000-2010 of Word, Excel, and PPT (I also supported Outlook, but there wasn't any UI stuff in my addin for outlook so I'm not sure there). More difficult, but more flexible in what you can support.
