How to Remove "Expand Submenu" Arrow?

[NathanFig]

When creating menus with submenus in Visual C++, I find that submenus begin as arrows that I must click to expand to see their contents. Is there a way (programatically) to have the submenus pop-out already expanded (with no arrow to click)?
Here is an image of what I am talking about, before and after clicking aforementioned arrow: http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=Pq1qL6rr

Thanks!

How are you creating them? They should not appear like in the first image.

I agree with cilu (at least, I never saw such a behaviour).
And it would be much better if you attached image(s) to your post (Some Admins don't allow access some of "free" sites used to upload pictures)

Isn't this effect triggered by the windows 'personalized menus' functionality which hides the least used menus ?

I thought Skizmo was on to something, but the problem persists when I disable personalized menus on this PC.

I am creating these menus through an MFC Application project in Visual Studio 2008. I simply add menus to the resource file via the Resource View pane. In the editor they appear fine, there is no such arrow- only when running.

This would appear to be an unusual problem, I have not yet found anyone else online who has dealt with the same issue.

And it would be much better if you attached image(s) to your post (Some Admins don't allow access some of "free" sites used to upload pictures)

Thank you, I will keep this in mind next time.

Can you reproduce this with a small demo project? If so attach it here, and I'll check it.

Ah, nevermind. My question has been answered on Stack Overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...and-menu-arrow

Thank you all for your time.
