XPLM_API XPLMMenuID XPLMCreateMenu(
                         const char *         inName,
                         XPLMMenuID           inParentMenu,
                         int                  inParentItem,
                         XPLMMenuHandler_f    inHandler,

This function creates a new menu and returns its ID. It returns NULL if the menu cannot be created. Pass in a parent menu ID and an item index to create a submenu, or NULL for the parent menu to put the menu in the menu bar. The menu’s name is only used if the menu is in the menubar. You also pass a handler function and a menu reference value. Pass NULL for the handler if you do not need callbacks from the menu (for example, if it only contains submenus).

Important: you must pass a valid, non-empty menu title even if the menu is a submenu where the title is not visible.
