Hello Nash,

Below structure should solve your problem,

typedef struct my_menu
{
char * my_menu_name;
struct my_menu * child_menu;
struct my_menu * next_menu;
}my_menu;

the 'child_menu' pointer shall point to child menu items, e.g.
File>New menu item
the 'next_menu' pointer shall point the next parent menu item e.g.
File>Edit

I hope this s

Thanks
Akbar
