Read the mail of Fabien Bodard carefully again:

 editmenuitem = NEW Menu(rightmenu,FALSE) AS "EditMenuItem"
 addmenuitem = NEW Menu(rightmenu,FALSE) AS "AddMenuItem"
 deletemenuitem = NEW Menu(rightmenu,FALSE) AS "DeleteMenuItem"

Do you notice the AS "xxx" after the NEW? That defines the event name of the 
object, and allows it to raise events.
