Synopsis

radioMenuItemCollection [-defineTemplate string] [-edit] [-exists] [-global boolean] [-parent string] [-query] [-useTemplate string] [radioMenuItemCollectionName]

radioMenuItemCollection is undoable, queryable, and editable.

This command creates a radioMenuItemCollection. Attach radio menu items to radio menu item collection objects to get radio button behaviour. Radio menu item collections will be parented to the current menu if no parent is specified with the -p/parent flag. As children of the menu they will be deleted when the menu is deleted. Collections may also span more than one menu if the -g/global flag is used. In this case the collection has no parent menu and must be explicitly deleted with the deleteUI command when it is no longer wanted.
