Priya,
This sample creates a custom toolbar with menu items (with sub menu's
within) and a dropdown box with choices, code sample also includes the event
handling for the items.
Run CreateToolbarExample - this will create the toolbar with menu items
MenuEvents - is the event handling macro which handles all events
RemoveMenu - Deletes the custom toolbar
I'd urge you to first use a search on

most of the queries you've posted the answers are readily available in the
