items.menuButtons.id String

Specifies the ID of the menu buttons.

By design the widget will render two buttons - the one located in the ToolBar container will receive the specified ID, the one located in the Overflow Popup container will receive the specified ID but with _overflow suffix. If the ID will be used for determining which button is clicked in the click or toggle event handler, the developer should use the ID property of the event data which always contains the specified ID without suffix.

Example

<div id="toolbar"></div>

<script>
    $("#toolbar").kendoToolBar({
        items: [ {
            type: "splitButton",

</script>
