First of all, use the compound widget menu tool - it makes things a
lot easier.

Use /RETURN_FULL_NAME for the menu items. Then eventval will contain
the menu item name and event.value will contain the event item name
with the subitem name appended to it. Then use

CASE eventval OF
"Item1": CASE event.value OF
"Item1.Subitem1": do something
"Item1.Subitem2": do something else
ENDCASE
ENDCASE

The advantage of returning the full name is that subitems of different
menu items can have the same name.
