I don't where your going and what you are trying to do but it seems to me that you will have to build your own menu control.

See if this one could help: http://www.datadynamics.com/activebar/default.htm

I can use the vbAccelerator popup menu for the submenus and create the menu bar as an index so I can dynamically create the parent menu. I know that the top will always be = 0 for the popup menu so now all I need to figure out is the left. I know that the first popup menu left will always = 0. I was thinking that there should be some formula that can dtermine the left from the caption length of the menu bar to get the popup menu close to where it should be. ie
