Does it help if you alter the
MergeOptiontoAppend? Or could it be that the constructor isn't creating the mnuChild-component?I are troll :)

Thank you No, it does not change anything BUT I have the solution It is necesary to set the head item (File in this case) to MatchOnly Then set each items in the child menu to the needed value (Insert, append...) A little bit tedious is the need to set the Exit item in the Main menu at the end To do that it is necessary to sell all items in the child menu to Insert with the proper index
