I’m in the process of working with some UI stuff and was wondering how to create a custom popup menu that is not bound to a parameter. I’ve looked through the source code a few times and haven’t been able to find anything that’s not linked to a parameter. What would be the best way to do this?

And a bonus question, it would be really nice to create submenus in the main menu options and so on.

Thanks!

Have a look at the IPlugControls example to see how to create a menu.  
It doesn‘t have to be bound to a parameter.  
You can create submenues by adding an IPopupMenu instead of an item. There‘s a AddItem() overload for that.
