Hierarchical submenus in option menu buttons
Hi list, I am trying to create a hierarchical submenu in an option menu button with LC 9.6. I have found this solution that seems to work only with pulldown buttons : https://use-livecode.runrev.narkive.com/cBfAjix2/cascading-menu I also found this LC lesson that suggests to use polylists : https://livecode.com/using-polylist-to-create-dropdown-menus/ But that seems way too sophisticated for a simple submenu. Any idea ? Thank you in advance. jbv ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Hierarchical submenus in option menu buttons
Hi. I believe that only pullDown and popUp menu styles can support submenus. Combo boxes and Option menus styles do not.

Re: Hierarchical submenus in option menu buttons
You are correct. Essentially, any menu that offers a list of strings to display on the menu button itself cannot use submenus. It makes sense really. I’ve never seen an option menu in any other application that allows a submenu choice.
