RadialMarkingMenu Object


Description

The RadialMarkingMenu object provides access to the contents of the radial marking menu (displayed when the user right clicks).

Methods

Name Description
Clear Method that clears the all of the controls for this radial marking menu. This is equivalent to assigning Nothing to each control. When no controls are defined, the radial marking menu is not displayed.
CreateRadialSubMenu Method that creates a transient RadialMarkingMenu. This object can then be assigned to any of the radial menu controls to create a sub-menu. Controls within the sub-menu can be left un-assigned to indicate the absence of those controls.
