Sure will, well done.

Just for comparision, here is the same routine coded using the
built-in Win32lib method.

-----------------menubang.exw
include win32lib.ew
without warning
createForm({
    "Window,   Simple Window, size=(320,200), Bar=Status=(200,-1)",
    "Menu,     Options",
      "MenuItem, Cold",
      "MenuItem, Warm",
      "MenuSpacer",
      "MenuItem, Color",
    "Menu,     !BANG!",
    "Menu,     !POW!"
    })

---------------------------------
procedure w32HClick_menu(integer self,integer event,sequence params)
---------------------------------  
    showMessage({ getText(self),   {0,1}} )
    showMessage({ "Normal Action", {0,2}} )
end procedure
registerRoutine("Click_Cold",  routine_id("w32HClick_menu"))
registerRoutine("Click_Warm",  routine_id("w32HClick_menu"))
registerRoutine("Click_Color", routine_id("w32HClick_menu"))

---------------------------------
procedure w32HClick_bang(integer self,integer event,sequence params)
---------------------------------  
    showMessage({ getText(self),     {0,1}} )
    showMessage({"Immediate Action", {0,2}})
end procedure
registerRoutine("Click_BANG", routine_id("w32HClick_bang"))
registerRoutine("Click_POW",  routine_id("w32HClick_bang"))

include w32Start.ew
