Um, that's ... weird. I suggest you use a regular submenu instead. 
Many apps have one of those for the New command, when they can create 
several types of new documents.

Putting a custom control in a menu, that does the same job as an 
existing mechanism, but differently, it just going to make your app 
look inconsistent and confusing.
