Yes, I know what tearoff menus are. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by saying using the new window won't act like a menu. The gadgets will behave however you tell them to. I don't think there's any reason you couldn't create and arrange gadgets to look just like a regular menu.
Another possibility (which I have never tried and have no idea whether or not it will work properly) is to create a MaxGUI panel object and make it the parent of your menu. Then, position and update the panel however you please in your code.
