Don't create the menu until you have to - when you detect a menu click, check
which icon the mouse is over, and generate the menu then tailored to your
requirements.

>Editor dbox?

You create two windows - the inner one being a pane of the outer one - it's
a little awkward to work it all out, but the result is quite impressive.

When you use this technique, you have to ensure that the pane window is moved
with the main window every time the user does a window drag - always open
the pane first - then open the main window behind it: doing it this way
minimises the number of redraws (and is a whole lot faster).
