ic... if this just some kind of internal admin application - maybe some redesign possible like having one menu bar for choosing current application and at the application page having options bar.. I do not see any otheer suggestions right now and task unfortunatelly targetted for 4.x only as 3.3.x branch officially closed.

Thanks again for the quick response.  I will try implementing your suggestion.  When is 4.x release scheduled to be available?

Thanks

Thanks for your help Ilya.

I created a top level toolbar and then a second sub toolbar with a width of 15% to load the result from the previous selection.

I also added some code to check to see how many elements are in a menu.

If it is below 1000 I load the menu in the first toolbar.

If it is greater than 1000 I load the menu with only its direct children.

I then require an onclick event to display those children in the subtoolbar.

It works very fast too.   

yup.. that's something like I meant.. And as for me - it should be even more convenient than browse between deep level'ed popup dropdowns. Anyway good to hear that such workaround suitable
