Hello,
im currently working on my major work and im up to the stage where i want to implement a cascade menu into my window.
i have differnt buttons on my window but i want the food options to pop down in a cascade menu and not a check menu, i have succesfully created the cascade menu but am having trouble changing it into a child from a parent,
