how to open pdf file from menu option

Hello,

i have written small script to create menu items-

(let (item1 item2)
item1 = (hiCreateMenuItem
?name (gensym)
?itemText "Click me..."
?callback "(println \"ooops...I just got clicked!\")" )
item2 = (hiCreateMenuItem
?name (gensym)
?itemText "Never click me!"
?callback "(println \"I told you not to click me didn't I?\")")

playMenu = (hiCreatePulldownMenu
(gensym)
"CADENCE"
(list item1 item2))

slider = (hiCreateSliderMenuItem
?name (gensym)
?itemText "Slider Example"
?subMenu playMenu
)

(hiAddMenuItem ciwOptionsMenu slider))

It is creating slider menu...1)How can i create menu under menu..Suppose i want test menu under "Never click me!" menu..How can i do it?

2) Also how can open pdf file which is in CWD...so that when i press "Click me..." menu item ...pdf file should open?is there any example for it

Kind regards,
Drake

Seriously? The code shows how to create slider menus, and you're asking how to create a further slider menu? All you need to do is create the menu, create the slider item, and then include that slider item in your menu. It's really not hard and the code above shows exactly all the functions you need to do this.

You're also asking how to open a PDF file. Can't you work it out from my answer to your question the other day? The callback for your menu item would just be "MyHelpCB()" or something similar.
