About RadSplitButton for ASP.NET AJAX

The RadSplitButton control is a multi-function menu button that offers a default action as well as the possibility of choosing a different action by selecting from a set of alternatives. It extends the already known RadPushButton with a RadContextMenu holding the set of alternative button options.

RadSplitButton and 120+ other controls are part of UI for ASP.NET AJAX, a comprehensive toolset taking care of the common functionality of your application, while leaving you with more time to work on its business logic.

  • Advanced Skinning—the visual appearance of the SplitButton control can be easily customized through skins
  • DefaultVB.aspx
  • DefaultVB.aspx.vb
