Items on an object's pop-up menu sometimes have pull-down menus or submenus associated with them. In the previous sample codes, New item is not a pull-down menu. However, New item can be defined as a pull-down menu by defining it as a submenu in MyObject's resource file, as shown in the following sample code:

#define ID_MOREITEMS  WPMENUID_USER+1
#define ID_NEWITEMS   WPMENUID_USER+2
#define ID_SUBITEM1   WPMENUID_USER+3
#define ID_SUBITEM2   WPMENUID_USER+4
#define ID_SUBITEM3   WPMENUID_USER+5

MENU ID_MOREITEMS LOADONCALL MOVEABLE DISCARDABLE
BEGIN
  SUBMENU "New Item", ID_NEWITEMS
  BEGIN
    MENUITEM  "SubItem_1"  ID_SUBITEM1
    MENUITEM  "SubItem_2"  ID_SUBITEM2
    MENUITEM  "SubItem_3"  ID_SUBITEM3
  END
END

The New item submenu is added to MyObject's primary pop-up menu using the same technique as shown in the "Adding Items to Pop-Up Menu Inherited from an Object's Ancestors" section. For the Workplace Shell to display the submenu as a conditional cascaded menu with the mini-push button and default selection, the menu's style and default selection must be set, as shown in the following sample code:

/**********************  Method Override  ******************************/

/* Add a new item to MyObject's pop-up menu  */
SOM_SCOPE BOOL32 SOMLINK MyObject_wpModifyPopupMenu
   (MyObject *somSelf, HWND hwndMenu, HWND hwndCnr, ULONG iPosition)

{
  .
  .

  MENUITEM mi;
  .
  .

  /* Get a handle to the New item submenu   */
  WinSendMsg(hwndMenu,
             MM_QUERYITEM,
             MPFROM2SHORT(ID_NEWITEMS),
             (MPARAM)&mi);
  hwndSubMenu = mi.hwndSubMenu;

  /* Query the menu's style  */
  ulstyle = WinQueryWindowULong(hwndSubMenu, QWL_STYLE);

  /* Add conditional cascaded capabilities to the existing menu style */
  ulstyle |= MS_CONDITIONALCASCADE;

  /* Set the menu style to include conditional cascaded capabilities  */
  WinSetWindowULong(hwndSubMenu, QWL_STYLE, ulstyle);

  /* Set the default selection in the submenu.  It must exist.  */
  WinSendMsg(hwndSubMenu,
             MM_SETDEFAULTITEMID,
             (MPARAM)ID_SUBITEM1, 0L);
  .
  .

}
