      Mohamed,

      in SDK examples AsyncTest.cpp add the following enumeration for some menu IDs (code for R15+) :

      enum
      {
        MY_POPUP_ID_FIRST = FIRST_POPUP_ID,
        MY_POPUP_ID_SUBMENU,
        MY_POPUP_ID_SUBMENU_FIRST,
      };
      

      Then in Bool SDKGradientArea::InputEvent(const BaseContainer& msg) add the following as last else if:

          else if (chn == BFM_INPUT_MOUSERIGHT)
          {
            BaseContainer bcPopupMenu;
            BaseContainer bcSubmenu;
            Int32 mx = msg.GetInt32(BFM_INPUT_X); // of course you can use mouse position to have popup menu be position sensitive
            Int32 my = msg.GetInt32(BFM_INPUT_Y);
            Global2Local(&mx, &my);
            Local2Screen(&mx, &my);
            // instead of building the menu everytime, you may better have a prepared container ready
            bcPopupMenu.SetString(MY_POPUP_ID_FIRST, "First menu entry");
            bcSubmenu.SetString(1, "A submenu");
            bcSubmenu.SetString(MY_POPUP_ID_SUBMENU_FIRST, "Submenu entry");
            bcPopupMenu.SetContainer(MY_POPUP_ID_SUBMENU, bcSubmenu);
            const Int32 menuId = ShowPopupMenu(nullptr, mx, my, bcPopupMenu);
            switch (menuId)
            {
            case MY_POPUP_ID_FIRST:
              GePrint("Execute first popupmenu entry");
              break;
            case MY_POPUP_ID_SUBMENU_FIRST:
              GePrint("Execute first submenu entry");
              break;
            case 0:
              GePrint("Menu got canceled");
              break;
            default:
              DebugStop("Popup Menu: Forgot a new enum value?");
            }
            // maybe use SendParentMessage() if need be
          }
      

      The docs on this topic aren't that bad either: R16 SDK Docs: c4d_gui.h

                it is the example LookAtCamera ,  LookAtCamera::GetDDescription(), all of the written description are created the same way with a check for performance, need to understand how this works, if there is no specific explanation , is it safe to do the same with all created description? (so I just write them the same way and forget about them) , or this is written in specific situations

                  You mean the

                  if (!singleid ||...
                  

                  part?
                  Yes, you should do it exactly like it is done in the lookatcamera example. As Niklas said, it's a performance optimization, in case C4D is asking for a single description only.

                      sorry for asking again, but I found that I didn't know yet how to adjust the format of data "question (2)" , the above link that I posted was for Dialogs, didn't notice this, so hope you may reply with a simple example to question (2)

                      edit:I find that DESC_COLUMNS is doing the job, but what about putting stuff in an irregular way, like:

                      button1    button2    button3
                      button4
                      button5    button6
                      button7

                      edit2: I would love to know how to create something similar to this Dialog http://www.andrewnoske.com/wiki/Cinema_4D_-_my_C%2B%2B_plugins_-_add_text
                      in GetDDescription() , the combo box, the radio group, etc..

                          Nevertheless glad you found your solution.

                            as this is related to  ShowPopupMenu()
                            how to put icons in the menu?
