#### Description [src]

    final class Adw.SplitButton : Gtk.Widget
      implements Gtk.Accessible, Gtk.Actionable, Gtk.Buildable, Gtk.ConstraintTarget {
      /* No available fields */
    }

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 `GtkButton` and `GtkMenuButton`, see their documentation for details.

## CSS nodes

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

`AdwSplitButton`‘s CSS node is called `splitbutton`. It contains the css nodes: `button`, `separator`, `menubutton`. See `GtkMenuButton` 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.
