@Dimster or anyone who is interested in setting up a drop menu system, good goal but kinda advanced stuff.

I've been thinking ahead of what would be needed:
1. an ever present title bar that sits somewhere across the top line of the potential app it will be used.
2. when clicked it will drop it's drawers and offer choices from a designated string array 
3. the menu will close up if some other part of screen is clicked
4. the menu will close and run some particular code according to which drawer was clicked
So when title is clicked the menu running code will take over the clicks (not even going to worry about key presses yet let alone mouse over stuff).

But now we need some code, what I call a Main Router, that I used in my GUI mods to know when a menu title was clicked and transfer control to menu running code. This really seems to me to be a job for a GUI library. I might consider doing this as mod to my GUI but I'm afraid I've lost everyone on that project already?

What do you all think? (Not sure I want to do a monologue.)

I might be up for some changes to my GUI code like getting rid of Fonts except for labels so I can do Menus easier and also copy/paste into text boxes and working out an Editor Control from which a WP app can be easily built.

This is huge project and probably why Terry doesn't have Menu code in his tutorial.
