Using createmenu to create sub menus

Hi,

I am trying to create a sub menu from a main menu item on the main DOORS explorer windows using createmenu. I can create main menus but can't seem to work out how to create sub menus.

The code I have for creating the menu is :

createMenu(alwaysOn, "Menu Name", 'A', null)

createItem(alwaysOn, "Menu Item 1", 'P', null, null, null, null, null, null, (getenv "DOORSHOME") "<DXL File>")

createItem(alwaysOn, "Menu Item 2", 'T', null, null, null, null, null, null, (getenv "DOORSHOME") "<DXL File>")

separator

createItem(alwaysOn, "Sub Menu Item 1", 'A', null, null, null, null, null, null, (getenv "DOORSHOME") "<DXL File>")

createItem(alwaysOn, "Sub Menu Item 2", 'A', null, null, null, null, null, null, (getenv "DOORSHOME") "<DXL File>")

createItem(alwaysOn, "Sub Menu Item 3", 'A', null, null, null, null, null, null, (getenv "DOORSHOME") "<DXL File>")

end menu

I would like the 3 items after the separator to be in a sub menu under another menu title.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Try:

createMenu(alwaysOn, "Menu Name", 'A', null)
        createItem(alwaysOn, "Menu Item 1", 'P', null, null, null, null, null, null, (getenv "DOORSHOME") "<DXL File>")
        createItem(alwaysOn, "Menu Item 2", 'T', null, null, null, null, null, null, (getenv "DOORSHOME") "<DXL File>")
        separator
        createMenu(alwaysOn, "Another Menu Title", 'B', null)
                createItem(alwaysOn, "Sub Menu Item 1", 'A', null, null, null, null, null, null, (getenv "DOORSHOME") "<DXL File>")
                createItem(alwaysOn, "Sub Menu Item 2", 'A', null, null, null, null, null, null, (getenv "DOORSHOME") "<DXL File>")
                createItem(alwaysOn, "Sub Menu Item 3", 'A', null, null, null, null, null, null, (getenv "DOORSHOME") "<DXL File>")
        end menu
end menu

        end menu
end menu

That's great. Thanks. I think I just didn't have to end menus in the correct places.
