Make split button behave like dropdown

[Antony]

HI Everyone,

At the moment I have a split button on my toolbar with two options:

Format HTML
Format Text

By default the Format HTML is selected and displayed on the toolbar.
When a user selects Format Text a postback occurs and the Toolbar split button is updated to display the Format Text image.
Is there a way to stop a postback from occuring when the user clicks the split button?, I only want a postback to occur when the user makes a selection from the dropdown list.

I know that this is how the DropDown button operates but I can't use it as it does not update the Image displayed on the toolbar when a user makes a selection.

Any help would be appreciated

Antony

Hi Antony,

Please subscribe to OnClientButtonClicking event and check whether the dropdown is open like this:

function buttonClicking(sender, args) {
    if (!args.get_item().get_parent()._isDropDownVisible)
        args.set_cancel(true);
}
