It seems that you cannot have cascading items in an option menu. The
secondary items appear as first level items with a tab before them.
As far I can tell, I have to use a pulldown menu to be able to use
cascading menu items. However, no matter which item you choose on a
pulldown menu, when the

I'll use LC as an example. Lets say you have an application that needs to

I see why you would want cascading menus, but I don't see what an
option menu buys you over a pulldown menu, aside from the one-liner of
having to set the label yourself.

Are Z and X the only characters that appear out of place? They also seem to be
the only uppercase letters, unless that is just a coincidence of your example.
If not a coincidence, why not make two passes, moving the uppercase letters

Hey all,
I'm interested in building an LC desktop application interface that has

What are dockable panes? For example: think of a window that has a vertical and

Is the area the panes display in fixed? Are the pane sizes fixed? I think you

Just to weigh in here, cascading menus works fine for a limited number of
choices, but if there are many choices, and the menus need to scroll to see
them all, cascading menus become a REAL irritation, especially if the user

Hi Dick and Bob,
The idea is that any pane can be dropped onto the position of any other
pane.
So if all 4 panes were in their original position, pane #3 could be dragged
and dropped onto pane #4 position.
Likewise, pane #2 could be dropped onto pane #3 position.
All this is just my idea from what
Hi Richard,
Thanks for the suggestion. I do use that technique but in this case, a
cascading menu feels more appropriate. There are 6 first level items and
two of them have second level items which are dynamically loaded but
probably not more than two or three of them.
The pulldown menu works
