| Description | An object with a “type” value of “submenu” defines a submenu of the current menu. You can use this object to create hierarchal menus. You need to define at least the name attribute to have a valid “submenu” object. This object has an “items” array that can contain “menuitem”, “submenu”, and “insertmenu” objects.

Required Values
- "name"
Defines the name of this submenu. This name appears on the parent menu where the submenu cascades from the parent menu.
Optional Values
- "defaultdb"
Defines the default database for all the menu items contained in this submenu. If you do not specify a database when defining a sub menu item, this default database will be used. The default value is "".
- "defaultscript"
Defines the default script for all the menu items contained in this submenu. If you do not specify a script when defining a sub menu item, this default script will be used. The default value is "".
- "defaultvalue"
Defines the default value for all the menu items contained in this submenu. If you do not specify a value when defining a submenu item, this default value will be used. The default value is "".
- "enabled"
Defines whether or not this submenu is enabled. Specify either true or false. If the submenu is disabled, it will appear greyed and the submenu will not appear when the user places their cursor over it. The default value is true.
- "groupid"
Defines a user-supplied group identifier for this submenu. This is used in conjunction with the "modifierkeys" value to selectively show alternative menu items depending on which modifier keys are held down. See the Hidden Items Example in the CNS Menu example database for examples that use this attribute. The default value is "".
- "modifierkeys"
Defines the modifier keys that are required in order to show this submenu. Specify "none" or "shift", "ctrl", "opt", "cmd", or combinations using the plus sign (eg. "shift+ctrl+cmd"). If the specified modifier keys are not held down when this menu is shown, this submenu will not be shown. If you are making a cross-platform solution, you will only want to use the "ctrl" and "shift" modifier keys because windows does not have the "opt" and "cmd" keys. The default value is "none".
- "style"
Defines the font style of this submenu. Specify "none" or "bold", "italic", "underline", or combinations using the plus sign (eg. "bold+italic"). The default value is "none".
