Thread: Something is wrong with this menu...

as you know, i dont use a resource editor, so i type everything by hand, and for soe reason this menu will not work right! everything is structured perfectly, only problem is, is that, well, there are 4 menus up top in the main menu bar called "hmenu" and form there on its all basically a heiachy of popup menus. its supposed to have:
DarkCode Edit Code Quik Code Help
and they each have a slew of menus undernethe them. bot for some reason it loks like this:
Edit Code Quik Code Help
and nothing pops up under EditCode. QuikCode and help work fine, those are noraml, but something is completely awry, and it has had me frustrated for 3 days. at first, it looked like this:
Help
with everything under that and i got to this point. but now i cant figure out whats wrong. someone help!!!!!
