You can use them for popup menus, option menus, and pulldown menus inside a window. (One place to see a stack menu in action is to look at the Stack tab in the 1.1.1 Stack Properties palette. The menu that appears when you click "Window Decorations" is a stack menu.) The advantage of stack menus is that you have complete freedom regarding layout; you can create a multiple-column menu, a menu whose menu items are images, etc. They're more complicated to create than button menus, since you need to create a stack to hold the menu instead of just entering the list of menu items into a button, but they are much more flexible. -- Jeanne A.
