So this is the result. Nothing really useful as far as I can see.

This item is exactly the last being displayed at the moment right before the down arrow that is virtually invisible to TC.

  Are the arrow controls always in the same place in the ribbon?
  
  If they are always next to a control/button within the ribbon, and you are able to get co-ordinates for the known control/button, you should be able to work out an offset which would allow you to use co-ordinates/click on the ribbon to hit the arrow.

    Hi Colin,
    
    That was my first approach to the problem. I'd get what's the last "VisibleOnScreen" object in the bar and from then try and calculate coordinates... but was impossible for some reason.
    
    Also size of the last button is variable depending on screen resolution, so even if I found the way to do it, it wouldn't be a permanent solution for every screen resolution.
