Add Flyouts to a Toolbar
You can use flyouts to group related commands together on a toolbar.
A flyout is a set of commands nested under a single button on a toolbar. Flyout
buttons have a black triangle in the lower-right corner. To create a flyout, you
can start from scratch, or drag an existing toolbar or drag pull-down menu
onto a toolbar. When a pull-down menu is dragged onto a toolbar, a new
toolbar is created and a flyout is created in the position that the pull-down
menu was dropped onto the toolbar.
The following table shows the properties for the Zoom flyout as they appear
in the Properties pane.
