Hi Moi3dFan,

The menu button should be a <moI:CommandMenuButtton> element with a menu="" attribute which would contain the name of the .htm file for the menu.

That's called a menu launcher, it's a little window that is shown by a <moi:CommandMenuButton> when the mouse moves over the button.

There isn't currently any way to make it launch downwards except they will go downwards if they are inside a UIPanel where the UIPanel has dock="top".

But instead of using a <moi:CommandMenuButton> you could instead use your own custom made button that would show the menu by calling:

moi.ui.showMenu( Url, ParentElement LaunchSide, LaunchDir );

LaunchSide is 0 to 3, LaunchDir is 0 or 1.
LaunchSide 0 = use top connector, LaunchDir = 0 expand to right, LaunchDir = 1 expand to left.
LaunchSide 1 = use left connector, LaunchDir = 0 expand down, LaunchDir = 1 expand up.
LaunchSide 2 = use bottom connector, LaunchDir = 0 expand right, LaunchDir = 1 expand left.
LaunchSide 3 = use right connector, LaunchDir = 0 expand down, LaunchDir = 1 expand up.
