Many thanks Craig and Bernd for your suggestions
Craig: Unfortunately the docs say revRotatePoly only works with lines, curves
and polygons
Bernd: Oh! Yes, exporting as png does work to give transparent corner bits!
Obvious now!
I think I had briefly considered this and rejected it because at
You are correct. Essentially, any menu that offers a list of strings to display
on the menu button itself cannot use submenus. It makes sense really. I’ve
never seen an option menu in any other application that allows a submenu
choice.

AHA, now I remember. Try the “revRotatePoly” command. That seems to work with
any graphic.

I think that only a “regular” polygon graphic can be rotated by setting its
“angle” property.That means that a roundRect or rectangular graphic do not
respond at all. LC will not throw an error, and the property sticks, but the
arc itself does not change..
I could be wrong about all this.
Hi.
I believe that only pullDown and popUp menu styles can support submenus. Combo
boxes and Option menus styles do not.

Hi list,
I am trying to create a hierarchical submenu in an option menu button
with LC 9.6.
I have found this solution that seems to work only with pulldown buttons
:

I also found this LC lesson that suggests to use polylists :
Export snapshot from object gives a nice image that can serve in place of the
graphic except that it has black spots at each corner outside the rounded
frame
Have you tried as "png"? It should make the black corners transparent.
export snapshot from graphic "g1" to image "iDest" as png
Kind
