public sealed class SplitButton : Widget, Accessible, Actionable, Buildable, ConstraintTarget

A combined button and dropdown widget.

`AdwSplitButton` is typically used to present a set of actions in a menu, but allow access to one of them with a single click.

The API is very similar to [class@Gtk.Button] and [class@Gtk.MenuButton], see their documentation for details.

CSS nodes

``` splitbutton.image-button ├── button │ ╰── <content> ├── separator ╰── menubutton ╰── button.toggle ╰── arrow ```

`AdwSplitButton`'s CSS node is called `splitbutton`. It contains the css nodes: `button`, `separator`, `menubutton`. See [class@Gtk.MenuButton] documentation for the `menubutton` contents.

The main CSS node will contain the `.image-button` or `.text-button` style classes matching the button contents. The nested button nodes will never contain them.

Accessibility

`AdwSplitButton` uses the `GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_GROUP` role.
