Control structure

Control-Structre

Assembly deployment

Refer SplitButtonAdv control dependencies section to get the list of assemblies or NuGet package needs to be added as reference to use the SplitButtonAdv control in any application.

Creating simple application with SplitButton

In this walk through, you will create WPF application that contains Split Button control. By the following ways, one can add the controls:

  1. Adding control via designer

  2. Adding control manually in XAML

  3. Adding control manually in C#

Adding control via designer

WPF Split Button control can be added to the application by dragging SplitButtonAdv from toolbox and dropping it in designer view. After dropping the controls in designer view, the assemblies such as Syncfusion.Shared.WPF gets added into the project automatically. The following code snippets will be added into the XAML.

<syncfusion:SplitButtonAdv x:Name="splitButtonAdv" Label="Split Button"/>

Getting Started

NOTE

syncfusion in XAML is an auto generated namespace.

Adding control manually in XAML

In order to add the control manually in XAML, follow the below steps.

  1. Add the below required assembly reference to the project.

    • Syncfusion.Shared.WPF
  2. Import Syncfusion WPF schema http://schemas.syncfusion.com/wpf or the control namespace Syncfusion.Windows.Tools.Controls in XAML page.

  3. Declare SplitButtonAdv control in XAML page.

    <Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
            xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
            xmlns:local="clr-namespace:SplitButtonadv_GetStart_Sample"
            xmlns:syncfusion="http://schemas.syncfusion.com/wpf"
            xmlns:Syncfusion="http://schemas.microsoft.com/netfx/2009/xaml/presentation"
            mc:Ignorable="d"
            Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
        <Grid>
            <syncfusion:SplitButtonAdv Height="44"  VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Width="162"/>
         </Grid>
    </Window>

Adding control manually in C#

In order to add control manually in C#, do the below steps.

  1. Add the below required assembly references to the project.

    • Syncfusion.Shared.WPF
  2. Import the Syncfusion.Windows.Tools.Controls namespace.

  3. Create SplitButtonAdv control instance and add it to the window.

    <Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
            xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
            xmlns:local="clr-namespace:SplitButtonadv_GetStart_Sample"
            xmlns:syncfusion="http://schemas.syncfusion.com/wpf"
            xmlns:Syncfusion="http://schemas.microsoft.com/netfx/2009/xaml/presentation"
            mc:Ignorable="d"
            Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
        <Grid x:Name="Root">
       
        </Grid>
    </Window>
    using Syncfusion.Windows.Tools.Controls;
           
    namespace ButtonSample
    {
        public partial class MainWindow : Window
        {
            public MainWindow()
            {
                InitializeComponent();
                SplitButtonAdv splitButtonAdv = new SplitButtonAdv();
                splitButtonAdv.Height=44;
                splitButtonAdv.Width=31;
                Root.Children.Add(splitButtonAdv);
            }
        }
    }

Setting label

The label on the button is a text that explains its action to the end-user. Apply the text by using the Label property.

<syncfusion:SplitButtonAdv Label="Colors" SmallIcon="Images\color.png"/>
SplitButtonAdv button = new SplitButtonAdv();
button.Label = "Colors";
button.SmallIcon = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Images\colors.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));

Label

Setting size mode

Size mode is used to render Split Button control in different pre-defined sizes based on application demand. Apply the size mode by setting the SizeMode property.

The SizeMode is an enumeration which contains the following values:

  • Small
  • Normal
  • Large

Small mode

When the mode is set to small, the control is displayed without the label. Only icon will be present in it.

<syncfusion:SplitButtonAdv SizeMode="Small" SmallIcon="Images\color.png" Label="Colors"/>
SplitButtonAdv button = new SplitButtonAdv();
button.Label = "Colors";
button.SizeMode = SizeMode.Small;
button.SmallIcon = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Images\colors.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));

Size-Mode-Small

Normal mode

In a normal size button, a small image with the text on the side will be displayed.

<syncfusion:SplitButtonAdv SizeMode="Normal" SmallIcon="Images\color.png" Label="Colors"/>
SplitButtonAdv button = new SplitButtonAdv();
button.Label = "Colors";
button.SizeMode = SizeMode.Normal;
button.SmallIcon = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Images\colors.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));

Size-Mode-Normal

Large mode

In a large size button, a large image along with the text at the bottom will be displayed.

<syncfusion:SplitButtonAdv SizeMode="Large" LargeIcon="Images\color.png" Label="Colors"/>
SplitButtonAdv button = new SplitButtonAdv();
button.Label = "Colors";
button.SizeMode = SizeMode.Large;
button.LargeIcon = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Images\colors.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));

Size-Mode-Large

Setting icon template

The IconTemplate property provides support for setting up any type of image such as path data, font icons, etc. to the SplitButtonAdv. The icon will automatically resize the template content according to its size provided in the data template.

NOTE

The SplitButtonAdv loads the icon in the following priority order.

Setting image

The image option helps to provide pictorial representation of the button. Image can be added either using the SmallIcon or LargeIcon property.

  • SmallIcon — This property will be used to set the image when size mode is Normal or Small.
  • LargeIcon — This property will be used to set the image when size mode is Large.

The SmallIcon property can be set as follows:

<syncfusion:SplitButtonAdv SizeMode="Small" Label="Syncfusion" SmallIcon="Images\syncfusion.png"/>
SplitButtonAdv button = new SplitButtonAdv();
button.Label = "Syncfusion";
button.SizeMode = SizeMode.Small;
button.SmallIcon = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Images\syncfusion.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));

Small Image

The SmallIcon property can be set even when the sizeMode is Normal.

<syncfusion:SplitButtonAdv SizeMode="Normal" SmallIcon="Images\Syncfusion.png" Label="Syncfusion"/>
SplitButtonAdv button = new SplitButtonAdv();
button.Label = "Syncfusion";
button.SizeMode = SizeMode.Normal;
button.SmallIcon = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Images\syncfusion.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));

Small Image

The LargeIcon property can be set as follows:

<syncfusion:SplitButtonAdv SizeMode="Large" LargeIcon="Images\Syncfusion.png" Label="Syncfusion"/>
SplitButtonAdv button = new SplitButtonAdv();
button.Label = "Syncfusion";
button.SizeMode = SizeMode.Large;
button.LargeIcon = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Images\syncfusion.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));

Large Image

Setting icon width and height

Icon width and icon height can be set using IconWidth and IconHeight properties respectively.

<syncfusion:SplitButtonAdv SizeMode="Normal" IconHeight="20" IconWidth="20"  Label="Syncfusion" SmallIcon="Images\syncfusion.png" />
SplitButtonAdv splitbutton = new SplitButtonAdv();
splitbutton.Label = "Syncfusion";
splitbutton.IconWidth=20;
splitbutton.IconHeight=20;
splitbutton.SmallIcon = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Images\syncfusion.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));

Icon Size Image

<syncfusion:SplitButtonAdv x:Name="splitbutton"  SizeMode="Normal" IconHeight="30" IconWidth="30"  Label="Syncfusion"  SmallIcon="Images\syncfusion.png" />
SplitButtonAdv splitbutton = new SplitButtonAdv();
splitbutton.Label = "Syncfusion";
splitbutton.IconWidth=30;
splitbutton.IconHeight=30;
splitbutton.SmallIcon = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Images\syncfusion.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));

Icon Size

NOTE

View sample in GitHub. This sample showcases how to add split button control and its basic features like image sizing options and size modes.

IsDefault mode

The IsDefault property indicates whether the SplitButtonAdv is a Default button and is used to activate the SplitButtonAdv by pressing using Enter key. When setting the IsDefault property to true, the user can invoke the button by pressing the Enter key.

<syncfusion:SplitButtonAdv x:Name="defaultButton" Label="Default" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Click="SplitButtonAdv_Click" IsDefault="True" />

Adding items to Split Button

The DropDownMenuGroup acts as a container for the Split Button control. It provides options to add menu items and also options like header name, re-sizing and scrollbar.

NOTE
