CustomUI Ribbon Excel - Drop Down Menu

So I just started playing with the CustomUI Ribbon Excel tool this morning.

My intent was to
1.) remove all menus from my VBA Project Workbook
2.) create a custom Drop Down Menu (Menu Items Stacked on top of each other and not individual buttons) with Menu Selections calling sub in Project Workbook

Example code I found accomplishes item #1 and the button clicks do call the Sub in VBA Module Object - however it depicts the Menu items as "buttons" and arranges them Horizontally in the MenuBar -

I'm sure it is the "Button" commands in the XML - but can't seem to find what I need to convert that to drop list with (what I believe is) On Select iTem

Any assistance in getting me in the right direction would be appreciated

XML Code currently looks like

#
customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui">
ribbon startFromScratch="true">
tabs>
tab id="Menu" label="SetBilder">
group id="SimpleControls" label="Menu Commands">

menu id="CTRl1"
label="Save Set As..."
onAction="ThisWorkbook.MyMacro"/>


button id="CTRl2"
label="Print Set - All Values"
onAction="ThisWorkbook.MyMacro"/>
separator id="mySeparator2" />

button id="CTRl3"
label="Print Set - No Cost"
onAction="ThisWorkbook.MyMacro"/>
separator id="mySeparator3" />

button id="CTRl4"
label="Import - Update Price Guide"
onAction="ThisWorkbook.MyMacro"/>
separator id="mySeparator4" />

button id="CTRl5"
label="Import - Update SetBilder Version"
onAction="ThisWorkbook.MyMacro"/>
separator id="mySeparator5" />
