Cliff,

How about a DCSUBMENU of that PARENT menu ?

i don´t think Class FROM XbpMenu() can do it.
event if you grow up Caption to hold 2 or more Items it is 1 Columne,
so Shortcut will react on 1st only.

you can use a SubMenu, activate on 1st Item, to show it "beside" your Pop-up ...

XbpMenu() or XbpListBox() have 1 Columne only, what you need is a ListView.

i´m writing a Xbase++ "Wrapper" Class for a "native" ListView were you can
use o:SetView(LVS_SMALLICON ) or o:SetView(LVS_LIST) to get a horizontal
Scrollbar and Shortcut like in Explorer.

... and you can add a Image as "Watermark" in Background of a ListView

Would be interested in seeing it when you have it ready.

Clif.

where i found Source from "native" Listview Control for Xbase++
i try to Ownerdraw ListView using LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED

it work now with Sample*** but i still have Problem with my Wrapper
to implement Xbase++ Syntax like o:measureItem or o:drawItem

it work well as Methode "inside" my Wrapper Class but when i transfer Code
into Function "outside" i still have a repaint Problem ... can´t see item / icons ...

so it is still some work do do to make it "ready" to use Xbase++ Syntax.

***working Sample using Pablo´s Source "Zebra" Style

Cliff -

Use the COLUMNBREAK clause of the DCMENUITEM command.
