It won't work.

1) The second mnu = NEW Menu(rootmenu) AS "MnuHandler" will kill the
event handler of the first instance.

2) MnuHandler_Click is the event handler for the parent only.

3) I will need thousands of lines of additional code if I have to
construct the menu dynamically. I could load an array from data and
loop through it, but it's a moot idea because of points 1) and 2).

Thanks anyway.
