Hi Keith,

I think it should be possible also but here is the problem:


The below code adds a "Timer Control" option under the PLUGINS menu. It successfully
launches a Test window with a list of memory addresses displayed.

  $Menu add command Other "TIMER Control" \
    {ManagedWin::open TIMER} \
    -underline 0      

My problem is that my chip, an ARM7TDMi has several different timers and I would
like to have them all grouped together as in Register->Format. So I tried

	$Menu add menu Menu.hello memem 0

  $Menu.hello add command Other "TIMER Control" \
    {ManagedWin::open TIMER} \
    -underline 0  

and 

	$Menu add cascade Menu.hello memem 0

  $Menu.hello add command Other "TIMER Control" \
    {ManagedWin::open TIMER} \
    -underline 0  

but what happens is that the plugin menu disappears altogether.

Any Thoughts,? 

Thanks,
Dave

                       ^^^^^^^^^^^
Shouldn't that read:
   $Menu add menu $Menu.hello memem 0

                          ^^^^^^^^^^
And this read:
       $Menu add cascade $Menu.hello memem 0

It should be possible, of course. All of the menus are standard Tk
menus, so any of them should be able to take any of the standard menu
types (radios, checks, cascades, etc).

Somehow I suspect you were not looking for a yes/no answer. :-)

Cascade menus

[David Mc Kenna]

Hi all,

Is it possible to add a cascade menu, such as seen in Register->Format in the
register window to, for example the Control Menu in the main window?

Thanks,
Dave Mc Kenna
