How do you add items to a popup menu in a dialog box? I just can't seem to find the correct API call to do this and none of the menu manager calls appear to be any use unless the menu is also part of the menu bar. This should be a really trivial task, so I bet that I have overlooked something extremely obvious!

If you can get a MenuRef for the menu, adding items should just be a matter of calling AppendMenuItemText or its variants. How you get the MenuRef is determined by how you're creating and/or using the menu, of course.

By the way, you can add menus to the menu list (and not have them appear in the menu bar) by calling InsertMenu with kInsertHierarchicalMenu as the position argument.
