Hello, Tclers.
I'm a maintainer of Ruby/Tk.
I want a kind of a menu widget which is embeddable into a container
frame.
The reason of why is the following...
...
In conclusion, I want to ask
(1) Can Tcl/Tk support an embeddable clone menu widget?
(2) Please tell me the best (better) way to embed tearoff menus.

Does it have to be an embedded clone? You can create menu widgets that
work outside of being in the menu area. If you look at the code for
guib in the spectcl project (http://spectcl.sourceforge.net/), you will
see menu builder that has kind of what you want.
