Options

The Kendo UI SplitButton supports the following styling options:

• size—Configures the overall size of the component.
• themeColor—Configures what color will be applied to the component.
• fillMode—Configures how the color is applied to the component.
• rounded—Configures the border radius of the component.

Size

The size option controls how big or small the rendered button looks. The structure of the class is k-button-{size}.

The following values are available for the size option:

• sm—Small size.
• md—Medium size.
• lg—Large size.
• none—Unset.

The default size value is medium and it is applied to the button element through the k-button-md class.

<div id="splitButton_wrapper" class="k-split-button k-button-group k-rounded-md">
    <button type="button" id="splitButton" data-role="splitbutton" class="k-button k-button-md k-rounded-md k-button-solid k-button-solid-base" aria-label="Plus splitbutton">
        <span class="k-icon k-i-plus k-button-icon"></span>
        <span class="k-button-text">Plus</span>
    </button>
    <button tabindex="-1" aria-label="arrow-button" class="k-split-button-arrow k-button k-button-md k-rounded-md k-button-solid k-button-solid-base k-icon-button" type="button">
        <span class="k-icon k-i-arrow-s k-button-icon"></span>
        </button>
</div>

FillMode

The fillMode option controls the way the color is applied to the rendered button. The structure of the class is k-button-{fillMode}.

The following values are available for the fillMode option:

• solid
• outline
• flat
• link
• none

The default fillMode value is solid and it is applied to the button element through the k-button-solid class.

<div id="splitButton_wrapper" class="k-split-button k-button-group k-rounded-md">
    <button class="k-button k-button-solid" >
        ...
    </button>
    <button tabindex="-1" aria-label="arrow-button" class="k-split-button-arrow k-button-solid k-button-solid-base k-icon-button" type="button">
        ...
    </button>
</div>

ThemeColor

As applying themeColor is closely related to the fillMode, the structure of the class name for the themeColor is a composite k-button-{fillMode}-{themeColor} setting.

The following values are available for the themeColor option:

• base
• primary
• secondary
• tertiary
• info
• success
• warning
• error
• dark
• light
• inverse
• none

The default themeColor value is base. A button with default fillMode and themeColor will have the k-button-solid-base class applied.
