I don't think submenus are support on the blackberry

So do you mean there is no API can support this? But I have saw such software,for instance "gizmo",which is an MSN software on BB. How can they be realized?

It's not part of the stock API. To implement submenus you'll need to create your own custom control.

I extend class Menu and overwrite paint() and implement Graphics.translate(int x,int y) , the purpose is to translate the menu to the position I want it to be, but the paint method is not invoked. The code just like this:
protected void paint(Graphics graphics){
graphics.translate(10,20);
}
Is it wrong?
