At the moment you may click the "object" (on TCanvas or TBrowser) with your right mouse
button to pop-up so-called context menu. That menu is build of the list of the method
of your class marked with the comment //*MENU*
Selecting appropriated "context menu" item you force system to present you a dialog
box to enter the values of the parameters of your class method and then call it.
To generate a new dialog box one is to add an extra method to his/her class
and mark this method with the comment //*MENU*
Can you try that ?
In fact it would be nice ROOT provides an API rather GUI to generate the same class
method parameters input dialog box.
