Flyouts are used to group related commands on a toolbar.
A flyout is a reference to a toolbar that is accessed from a single button on a toolbar. Flyout buttons have a black triangle in the lower-right corner which indicates that pressing and holding the pick button from the pointing device will reveal additional commands. A flyout can be created from scratch, or using an existing toolbar or pull-down menu onto a toolbar.
NoteA flyout can only contain commands, it cannot contain any controls.
The following table shows the properties for the Zoom flyout as they appear in the Properties pane.
