This I don't understand.

"... without using MenuBar" --- "And using "MenuBar ..."

Just read full context. In simplified form it looks like follows:

#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>

using namespace Upp;

class Window : public TopWindow {
public:
	typedef Window CLASSNAME;
	Window();

	ArrayCtrl list;
};

Window::Window()
{
	Title("New Window");
	SetRect(Size(320, 240));

	list.HSizePosZ(4, 4).VSizePosZ(4, 4);
	list.AddColumn(String());

	for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
	{
		list.Add(AsString(i + 1));
	}

	Add(list);
}

class App : public TopWindow {
public:
	typedef App CLASSNAME;
	App();

	MenuBar menu;
	Window window;
	
	void MainBar(Bar& bar);
	void FileBar(Bar& bar);
	void OnSettings();
};

App::App()
{
	Title("MenuBar test application");
	SetRect(Size(640, 480));
	AddFrame(menu);
	AddFrame(TopSeparatorFrame());
	menu.Set(THISBACK(MainBar));
}

void App::MainBar(Bar& bar)
{
	bar.Add("File", THISBACK(FileBar));
}

void App::FileBar(Bar& bar)
{
	bar.Add("Settings", THISBACK(OnSettings));
	bar.Separator();
	bar.Add("Exit", THISBACK(Close));
}

void App::OnSettings()
{
	window.Execute();
}

GUI_APP_MAIN
{
	App app;
	app.Run();
}

I guess, this is not what you looking for, but it was that I suggested.

You can continue to find exact solution, of course. E.g. trying to extend MenuBar to support Option with right check (>), which shows next menu bar, after mouseover on it (mimic MenuItem).

// Somewhere inside derived TopWindow class
Option opt;
// Then add it for some Bar
bar.AddNC(opt);

Or using different solutions, not mentioned here.
