Hi Abdul,
To achieve your goal, find required GalleryItem in RibbonGalleryBarItem and set its Image, HoverImage and Caption properties. Check the following code:

Visual Basic
Public Sub New()  
    InitializeComponent()  
    SkinHelper.InitSkinGallery(ribbonGalleryBarItem1)  
    Dim item As GalleryItem = FindGalleryItem("DevExpress Style")  
    item.Image = _image  
    item.HoverImage = _image  
    item.Caption = "Custom caption"  
End Sub  

Private Function FindGalleryItem(ByVal text As String) As GalleryItem  
    For Each group As GalleryItemGroup In ribbonGalleryBarItem1.Gallery.Groups  
        For Each item As GalleryItem In group.Items  
            If item.Caption = text Then  
                Return item  
            End If  
        Next item  
    Next group  
    Return Nothing  
End Function

I hope you find this information useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.

Hi Abdul,
As far as I see, you're using the popup menu represented by the BarSubItem component. In this case, it's necessary to go recursively though the BarSubItem.LinksPersistInfo collection and change the Caption and Glyph of each BarItemLink. See the code sample for clarification:

Visual Basic
Private Sub changeCaption(ByVal item As BarSubItem)  
          For Each info As LinkPersistInfo In item.LinksPersistInfo  
               info.Link.Caption =  
              If TypeOf info.Item Is BarSubItem Then  
                  changeCaption(TryCast(info.Item, BarSubItem))  
              End If  
          Next info  
End Sub

I hope this helps.

Hi,
To change an icon, set the Item's Glyph property. Check the following code:

Visual Basic
'...  
skins.ItemLinks(0).Item.Glyph = %bitmap%  
'...
