public interface VerticalMenuControl
extends MenuControl

A Vertical Menu Control represents a menu where the top level is shown vertically; subsequent levels can also be shown vertically with the menu expanding to accommodate them, or they can be shown as dynamic drop out menus in the same way as for a Horizontal Menu Control.

A Vertical Menu Control could be used as a traditional menu where the user clicks an item to request an action or open a sub-menu, or alternatively it could be used as a navigator to show location in a website or progress through a form: when used as a navigator, each menu item can be clickable or not as required.
