While customizing the right-click menu for cells, I am unable to get a CommandBarComboBox object to show up. Other controls populate fine and no errors are thrown. It is as though the code for adding the combobox is ignored completely.

My code is below, any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Code:
'===============================================
' THISWORKBOOK

Option Explicit



Private Sub Workbook_SheetBeforeRightClick(ByVal wks As Object, ByVal rng As Range, booCancel As Boolean)
    
    menuShowTEST
    
End Sub
Code:
'===============================================
' MODULE

Option Explicit

Public Const cMENU_TAG As String = "DS"


Private Sub menuInitializeTEST()
  Dim cbcMain As CommandBarControl
  
    Set cbcMain = Application.CommandBars("Cell").Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, before:=1, temporary:=True)
    
    With cbcMain
        .Tag = cMENU_TAG
        .Caption = "Report &Filters"
        .BeginGroup = True
    End With
    
    With cbcMain.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlComboBox, temporary:=True)
        .Tag = cMENU_TAG
        .Caption = "Meow"
        .TooltipText = "Why isn't this showing up?"
        .AddItem "element1"
        .AddItem "element2"
        .AddItem "element3"
        .DropDownLines = 3
        .ListIndex = 1
    End With
    
    With cbcMain.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, temporary:=True)
        .Tag = cMENU_TAG
        .Caption = "Apply"
        .TooltipText = "Apply selected filters to data."
        .OnAction = "menuFilterApply"
        .BeginGroup = True
    End With
    
    With cbcMain.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, temporary:=True)
        .Tag = cMENU_TAG
        .Caption = "Remove"
        .TooltipText = "Removes filters from data."
        .OnAction = "menuFilterRemove"
        .BeginGroup = False
    End With


End Sub


Public Sub menuShowTEST()

    menuRemoveTEST
    menuInitializeTEST
    

End Sub



Public Sub menuRemoveTEST()
  Dim cbc As CommandBarControl
  
    On Error Resume Next
    
    For Each cbc In Application.CommandBars.FindControls(Tag:=cMENU_TAG)
        cbc.Delete
    Next
       
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
