What does the toolstrip menu item attrib 'DropDown' do?

While trying to figure out how to do something, I noticed a Data item in ToolStripMenuItem called 'DropDown'. It seems to always have a value of (none) and I can't figure out how to get around that. What does this particular attribute do?

Never mind. It holds the tool strip menu item that will be displayed upon expansion of the item. The reason it has (none) in the designer is because it is meant to be used at run time, I supposed, in order to permit cascading menus to be constructed during execution. Design time has a different method, obviously, for creating drop down items.
