Creating a cascading menu button an a GUI status

I have a GUI status on a normal screen (NOT on an ALV grid). On this status I have added 3 function buttons (SEARCH, CREATE, MANAGE). I want to add a 4th button that appears and acts like a cascading menu button. An example of what I want the button to look like is similar to what you would see on the standard 'Change Layout' button on an ALV Grid. I am not using an ALV grid, though - but I'm trying to get a button on the GUI status to act like that - where you click on it and you see multiple options such as Display, Edit, Copy.

I don't want to add this to my MENU bar. I'm trying to add it to my APPLICATION bar. If anyone has ever done this, please let me know how you did it.

Thank you for any helpful information.

I think that is done with the "toolbar" control so it will be in the screen, not on the application bar... have a look at SAPTOOLBAR_DEMO1, and the CTMENU_* programs.

Or perhaps look at Generic Object Services to add a button between the application bar and below the menu (as in ME23N, FB03 etc)

Hi Jonathan:

Thank you for your response. I have already looked at that demo program - your answers point me to Containers and grids. Unfortunately that isn't what I'm looking for. I need for it to be part of the application bar.

Thanks again.
