Key Features
The following list presents the most popular features in Telerik's RadButtons:
DropDown Button: Provides a menu-like interface model within a button. It can be very handy for creating a more simplistic UI where extensive menus and/or ComboBoxes are not needed. Any kind of content can be placed in the pop-up area displayed upon the activation of the button. See the DropDown Button article for more details.
Split Button: Extends the DropDown Button's functionality with an action area like in a standard button. The Split Button implements the IsChecked state, too. See the Split Button article for more details.
Toggle Button: Mimics the functionality of a check box, but has more flexibility in its design. It offers state management based on the check state of the control. See the Toggle Button article for more details.
Toggle Switch Button: Mimics the functionality of a Toggle button, but has more flexibility in its design. You can specify two states: Check/Uncheck and On/Off. Every state can be customized with different content. See the Toggle Switch Button article for more details.
Radio Button: Mimics the functionality of the radio button, but has more flexibility in its design. See the Radio Button article for more details.
