You have to react to the MSG_DESCRIPTION_POPUP message to fill the menu structure.

Here is a simple example of a popup menu with a sub-menu and some separators.

  
Bool MorphMixerObject::Message(GeListNode *node, LONG type, void *data)  
{  
  if (type==MSG_DESCRIPTION_POPUP)  
  {  
      DescriptionPopup *dp = (DescriptionPopup* )data;  
  
      if (dp->id[0]==MORPHMIXER_PRESET)  
      {  
          if (dp->chosen==0)    //fill menu  
          {  
              dp->popup.InsData(MORPHMIXER_PRESET+1,"hello");  
              dp->popup.InsData(MORPHMIXER_PRESET+2,"world");  
              dp->popup.InsData(0,String());    //separator  
                
              BaseContainer child;    //sub-container for sub-menu  
              child.InsData(MORPHMIXER_PRESET+3,"CINEMA 4D");  
              child.InsData(0,String());    //separator  
              child.InsData(MORPHMIXER_PRESET+4,"BodyPaint 3D");  
              child.InsData(1,"Sub-Menu");    //sub-menu name  
              dp->popup.InsData(0,child);        //insert sub-menu  
              child.FlushAll();  
          }  
          else    //menu item was chosen  
          {  
              GePrint(LongToString(dp->chosen));  
          }  
      }  
  }  
  
  return TRUE;  
}  
  
Bool MorphMixerObject::GetDDescription(GeListNode *node, Description *description,DESCFLAGS_DESC &flags)  
{  
  if (!description->LoadDescription(node->GetType())) return FALSE;  
  
  // important to check for speedup c4d!  
  const DescID *singleid = description->GetSingleDescID();  
  
  LONG index = MORPHMIXER_PRESET;  
    
  BaseContainer bc2;  
  
  DescID cid = DescLevel(index,DTYPE_POPUP,0);  
  if (!singleid || cid.IsPartOf(*singleid,NULL)) // important to check for speedup c4d!  
  {  
      bc2 = GetCustomDataTypeDefault(DTYPE_POPUP);  
      bc2.SetLong(DESC_CUSTOMGUI,CUSTOMGUI_POPUP);  
      bc2.SetLong(DESC_ANIMATE,DESC_ANIMATE_OFF);  
      bc2.SetBool(DESC_REMOVEABLE,FALSE);  
      bc2.SetString(DESC_NAME,"Preset");  
      bc2.SetString(DESC_SHORT_NAME,"Preset");  
      if (!description->SetParameter(cid,bc2,DescLevel(ID_OBJECTPROPERTIES))) return FALSE;  
  }  
  
  flags |= DESCFLAGS_DESC_LOADED;  
  
  return SUPER::GetDDescription(node,description,flags);  
}

cheers,
Matthias
