SplitButton
The SplitButton is similar to a traditional button in an Access interface. What makes the SplitButton
different is that it is, quite literally, split vertically into two different controls. The left side of the
control works as any other button, and responds to a single click. The right side of the button
includes a right-pointing arrow that, when clicked, reveals a selection list of single-select options.
SplitButtons can also be split horizontally, into upper and lower portions.
The best example of a SplitButton is the Save As button in the File menu. Clicking the left side of
the Save As button opens the Save As dialog, whereas clicking the right side of the button reveals
the selection list you see in Figure 34-3.
Only one option in the SplitButton list can be selected. As soon as an item in the list is selected, the
SplitButton closes and the action selected by the user is performed.
DropDown
The DropDown is shown in Figure 34-4. Although the DropDown looks very much like a combo
box, they are not the same type of object.
