How can I place any Ext control inside a GridPanel column?

[paul-2011]

Hi guys, this is me again having a lot of trouble learning the framework, my question now supposedly is very simple, I have a GridPanel and inside one the columns I need to place a <Menu> with several <ext:MenuItem>, the reason why I need it is because I have to access the DirectEvents property of the <ext:MenuItem> which contains the Activate event and it is not accessible with the <ext:MenuCommand> which is the only kind of component accepted with a SplitCommand.
Thanks,
Paul

I need this inside a column:

<Menu>
                              <ext:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server">
                                <Items>  
                                    <ext:MenuItem ID="MenuItem" runat="server" Text="Menu 5">
                                    <DirectEvents>
                                        <Activate OnEvent="ActivateMenu">
                                        </Activate>
                                    </DirectEvents>
                                </Items>
                              </ext:Menu>
                            </Menu>
