<p><strong>Description:</strong></p>
<p>Call the <code>append</code> method to add a child menu item
to the parent menu item in the options menu list. This results in the creation
of a submenu list in the menu tree. Use this method to create a cascading
submenu when needed.</p>
<p>Menu items are shown on the options menu list in the order in which
they are appended.</p>
<p><strong>Syntax:</strong></p>
<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-950D27EE-7CA6-4CD1-B79A-0F9BCC770B1E">[void] MenuItem.append(MenuItem childMenuItem)</pre>
<p><strong>Arguments:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>childMenuItem</code>:</p>
<p>This is an instance of the <a href="GUID-111DE423-9C84-4E4B-A45E-15081FE2A30D.html#GUID-111DE423-9C84-4E4B-A45E-15081FE2A30D"><code>MenuItem</code></a> object
which is being added to the parent menu item. See also the <a href="GUID-704CF29C-1FDC-4192-9338-C8B9B926111C.html#GUID-704CF29C-1FDC-4192-9338-C8B9B926111C"><code>menu.append</code></a> method description for instructions on how to append a menu item
to the top level of the options menu list.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Return value:</strong></p>
<p>This method does not return a value.</p>
<p><strong>Remarks:</strong></p>
<p>For devices with a small screen, it is not practical to create multi-level
cascading submenus. Thus, a maximum of two-levels is recommended for submenus.</p>
<p>Appending a new menu item fails if it tries to create a duplicate menu
item (it either has the same <code>id</code> or the same <code>label</code> as
an existing menu item).</p>
<p>For more general information on constructing an options menu, see <a href="GUID-94946735-D23B-49C6-BB65-8BE31737AE42.html#GUID-94946735-D23B-49C6-BB65-8BE31737AE42">Using softkeys</a>.</p>
