I can see it's possible to add custom buttons to the toolbar and I'm wondering if there's a way to add a dropdown element too?

Hello, Yosef,

Yes, adding a tab with a dropdown menu to the Toolbar is possible. Please check the following JSFiddle for reference: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/5m0js7wr/

Thanks Nadia,
This menu could work for us. Is there anyway to add a custom dropdown HTML element to the toolbar as well?

Hi Nadia,

Thanks for your support.

Our use case is to have a list of report configurations inside a dropdown, and use it to load reports into the grid with the setReport() and getReport() API.

The dropdown is in place and I'm wondering now if it can be included inside Flexmonster's toolbar.

Hello, 

Thank you for the response.

Kindly note that recommended approach is using the Flexmonster dropdown. You are welcome to check the following example illustrating how to set a report via the toolbar menu: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/1t0a67zx/ 
In case you want to display your custom dropdown, we recommend placing it as an external UI control and, for example, hiding our toolbar:

var pivot = new Flexmonster({
    container: "pivotContainer", 
    toolbar: false
}); 

We hope it helps. You are welcome to write to us in case further questions arise.

Kind regards,
Nadia
