<h2 class="text-xl font-bold text-owl-blue mb-3">About Better SplitButton</h2>
|

|
|
<div class="space-y-3 text-sm text-gray-700">
|
||
|
|
<p>Better SplitButton is a free button-like control for .NET WinForms that you can start using immediately. It's similar to the regular button, but it includes a "split" part, which can display a dropdown menu once clicked. You can also set the button to be AlwaysDropDown, in such case, there is no separate split part (but the glyph arrow is still displayed), and clicking anywhere on the button will display the dropdown.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The dropdown menu is defined using the native .NET ContextMenuStrip component.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The installation package includes sample projects in both VB.net and C# to get you started immediately. It also includes Samples Explorer with some pre-built samples, so you can quickly see what it can do.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Better SplitButton is free for non-commercial use. Commercial use requires a license that we offer for a very affordable price. We supply source code with all commercial licenses.</p>

<h2 class="text-xl font-bold text-owl-blue mt-8 mb-3">How can SplitButtons improve your GUI</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p class="text-sm text-gray-700">SplitButton is an invaluable control if you want to keep your GUI simple and intuitive. It is perfect for "hiding" non-standard or expert options that would complicate your GUI unnecessarily. It occupies the same real estate as a regular button, but can provide your users with far more options.</p>
