I'm trying to create my own submenu that will behave like whatever RIM is using for their submenus.

I've created a submenu using an ObjectListField and a PopupScreen.  I've created a MenuItem that invokes the submenu when clicked.

Here's my problem:  The original menu does not stay visible when the submenu appears...so the submenu looks like a popupscreen instead of a submenu.

What do I need to override to keep the original menu visible when the popupscreen is displayed?

Here's the code I've attempted so far.  This is an inner class that extends MenuItem:

public class subMenuItem extends MenuItem
{

    public subMenuItem(String text, int ordinal, int priority)
    {
        super(text, ordinal, priority);
    }

        public void run()
        {
            Menu menu = getMenu(0);
            while(menu.getSelectedItem() == this)
            {
                if(menu.isDisplayed() == false);
                menu.show();
            }
        }

Ideally I'd use this to create a MenuItem that keeps the original menu visible when the submenu is displayed.

Bumping to the top for additional help.

Also wanted to add that I did attempt to override makeMenu on the MainScreen for which I'm creating the submenu, but when I did no menu appeared.

Thanks
