Create a Menu List
A menu list displays a series of options from which a user can make one selection. To select an option, the user clicks the corresponding item.
You specify the items for the list using the Value List dialog, which you can access from the Property Inspector. Like the choice fields—radio, list, option, and palette fields—you must provide the text entries for the list and an integer value for each text entry.
To add a menu list to a menu
1. Click Insert, Menu List in the Menu Editor.
2. Click at the top of of an existing menu item, if any.
The Menu Editor inserts a generic menu list before the clicked item.
3. With the menu list selected, click the ValueList property in the Property Inspector.
The Value List dialog appears.
For more information about using this dialog to specify the choices for your menu list, see Add and Delete List Field Items.
4. (Optional) Set other menu list properties including Name.
Note:  For complete descriptions of each menu list property, see Menu List Properties and Common Menu Properties.
5. Close the Menu Editor.
6. Click File, Save and Close in the Frame Editor to save your changes.
Menu List Properties
All the properties for menu lists are described under Common Menu Properties, with the exception of the ValueList property, which is specific to this type of menu item.
ValueList
Lets you specify the choices—text and corresponding integer values—for the menu list using the Value List dialog. You should specify one value to be displayed as the default value for the list.
