Target:

I'm trying to make 'One' menu, and 'Two' submenu.
my code is below

Task.Run(async () => { var options = new BrowserWindowOptions { Show = true }; Electron.Menu.SetApplicationMenu(new MenuItem[] { new MenuItem { Label = "One" ,Submenu = new MenuItem[] { new MenuItem {Label="Two" } } } }); await Electron.WindowManager.CreateWindowAsync(); });

It makes 'One' menu, but nothing happen when i click it.

And this github demo also does not display submenu.

You forgot to set the type for it as a submenu:

Task.Run(async () =>
{
    var menu = new MenuItem[]
    {
            new MenuItem
            {
                Label = "One",
                Type = MenuType.submenu,
                Submenu = new MenuItem[]
                {
                    new MenuItem
                    {
                        Label = "Two"
                    },
                    new MenuItem
                    {
                        Label = "Three"
                    }
                }
            }
    };

    Electron.Menu.SetApplicationMenu(menu);

    await Electron.WindowManager.CreateWindowAsync();
});
