As a newcomer to MS Windows development, I wonder if anyone can answer
a submenuing question for me.  I'd like to craft a garden variety main
menu where several of the click items cause transition to various
submenus.  Is it generally the norm to implement submenus by creating
child windows or by redefining the look of the existing menu and
replacing it with a SetMenu() call?  The SDK documentation doesn't seem
to offer much here.  I suppose it's really a matter of preference, but
does either approach go along with MS Windows methodology more
naturally?  Also, is there something here I may be overlooking?

Thank you!
