Hi Stephen.<div><br></div><div>Sub-menus will behave as expected. :-) To create something like what Tim showed, you can use this interface:</div><div><br></div><div>MenuMorph >> #add:subMenu:</div><div><br></div><div>If you want to write menu-construction code that should (eventually) work in Squeak's Morphic and MVC, you should use this interface:</div><div><br></div><div>MenuMorph >> #add:subMenu:target:selector:argumentList:</div><div>CustomMenu >> #add<span style="font-size: 13.3333px">:subMenu:target:selector:argumentList:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px">If you are using ToolBuilder directly to construct menus (i.e. PluggableMenuSpec), there is -- unfortunately -- no way to add sub-menus. However, almost all tools that go through ToolBuilder construct their menus via a callback from the actual widgets (e.g., PluggableListMorph in Morphic, PluggableListView in MVC), which then arrives as "someMenu" in your model's menu-construction method. That "someMenu" will then be a MenuMorph (in Morphic) or CustomMenu (in MVC). See above for that case. :-)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px">That latter, most frequent way, to construct menus does not add sub-menus but this .... very special ;-) ... "more..." menu item at the end of the list.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px">Best,</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 13.3333px">Marcel</span></div><div class="mb_sig"></div><blockquote class="history_container" type="cite" style="border-left-style:solid;border-width:1px; margin-top:20px; margin-left:0px;padding-left:10px;">
