# PopupMenu Submenus

> [HTML Version](popupmenusubmenus.htm)

_Added January 2017_

Beginning with A-Shell 6.3.1542 of January 2017, the XTREE PopupMenu supports submenus. The syntax is the same as for Hover/Context menus, i.e. set the cmd field (of the text,cmd; menu item pair) to "\[SUB\]" to mark the beginning of the submenu, and the text field of a subsequent item to "\[ENDSUB\]" to mark the end of the submenu. For example:

coldef\$ += "0~0~ ~SH~PopupMenu=" \&

    + "\!Retire\\tF2,VK\_xF501;" \&

    + "|arrow\_right\_green::ashico1|Peacetime,\[SUB\];" \&

         + "|photo\_portrait::ashico1|Visit\\tF3,VK\_xF502;" \&

         + "|signpost::ashico1|Pass Through,VK\_xF503;" \&

         + "\[ENDSUB\],;" \&

        + "-----,;" \&

    + "|gear::ashico1|Wartime,\[SUB\];" \&

        + "Attack,VK\_xF504;Lay Siege,VK\_x507;" \&

        + "\[ENDSUB\],;" \&

    + "-----,;" \&

    ...



The code above defines a PopupMenu which looks something like this:

        Retire      F2               (disabled item)

        Peacetime                    (submenu with icon)

              Visit        F3        (submenu item with icon)

              Pass Through           (submenu item with icon)

        ---------------------        (separator)

        Wartime                      (submenu with icon)

              Attack                 (submenu item)

              Lay Siege              (submenu item)

        ---------------------        (separator)

        ...
