Hey Brad,

You are right. It should be horizontal. However, the menu was not
conceived with submenu's in a horizontal layout in mind.
Three changes are needed:
- update to latest CVS: I now enforce menu items to be inline when in
a horizontal layout
- you need to render the sub menu's using <ul> and <li> elements
(setRenderAsList()). This is probably a good idea in general since it
is a kind of web convention...
- make those <ul> and <li> elements inline
> WContainerWidget* menu_area = new WContainerWidget( root() );
> WStackedWidget* contents = new WStackedWidget( root() );
> WMenu* menu = new WMenu( contents, Horizontal, menu_area );
>
> WSubMenuItem* smi = new WSubMenuItem( "Menu1", new WText( "Menu1" ) );
> WMenu* subMenu = new WMenu( contents, Horizontal, 0 );
subMenu->setRenderAsList(true);
subMenu->setStyleClass("horiz-menu");
> subMenu->addItem( "Sub1", new WText( "Sub1" ) );
> subMenu->addItem( "Sub2", new WText( "Sub2" ) );
> subMenu->addItem( "Sub3", new WText( "Sub3" ) );
> subMenu->addItem( "Sub4", new WText( "Sub4" ) );
> subMenu->addItem( "Sub5", new WText( "Sub5" ) );
> smi->setSubMenu(subMenu);
> menu->addItem(smi);
>
> smi = new WSubMenuItem( "Menu2", new WText( "Menu2" ) );
> subMenu = new WMenu( contents, Horizontal, 0 );
subMenu->setRenderAsList(true);
subMenu->setStyleClass("horiz-menu");
> subMenu->addItem( "Sub1", new WText( "Sub1" ) );
> subMenu->addItem( "Sub2", new WText( "Sub2" ) );
> subMenu->addItem( "Sub3", new WText( "Sub3" ) );
> subMenu->addItem( "Sub4", new WText( "Sub4" ) );
> subMenu->addItem( "Sub5", new WText( "Sub5" ) );
> smi->setSubMenu(subMenu);
> menu->addItem(smi);
styleSheet().addRule("ul.horiz-menu", "display: inline;");
styleSheet().addRule("ul.horiz-menu li", "display: inline;");
However, the result is still not very good looking: everything is now
rendered on a single line. How do we want these sub menu's to look ?
Probably like this, on two lines: ?
Menu1 Menu2
Sub1 Sub2 Sub3 Sub4 Sub5
That will need some more implementation work in WSubMenuItem.C
