Making a dropdown menu to launch software

Hey all

I could have sworn there is an object that does this - but apparently not so. All i want to do is have a menu system in my app, which for example once clicked drops down and allows me to choose different programs or websites and then launch - kinda like what you normally have in windows i guess.

I've tried all the objects i'd assume did something like this with no joy. I'm all for creating one myself, but i want it to be as clean and simple to add new shortcuts too. (the way i have in mind.. maybe not so much)

could i have any advice please?

edit: as another workaround, i can use the built in menu system although i wanted the option of having the meny bar elsewhere in the app.

edit: hmm does anyone have any idea how this menu works? launching website/app shortcut things is a nightmare! for example, menu option doesnt always seem to choose the correct option in the event editor. grr. It seems to work somewhat if i just modify the original content.

Sorry yes I can do that. I meant if there was a way of using an object to replicate a windows style drop down menu, like you use in mmf2/Microsoft office etc for example.

The built in standard one ( ie from the application properties edit menu) works and would probably be fine . I'm just getting some weird results from it. Ie what does the "&" mean and why do some of the options have it in the middle of words ie pass &word. I get check boxes appear even if I don't select them too. It just doesn't seem to work as expected.

I'll grab a pic in a bit and post to show my issue.

Thanks guys.

I think i had some success with this. I think it's a bit buggy, because sometimes i had to delete the shortcut/menu item and then re-add it for it to work! bizarre. It will do for the meantime.
