# SplitButton Disabled State

The SplitButton is enabled by default. Set its [`disabled`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/buttons/api/splitbuttoncomponent#disabled) property to `true` to disable the main action and the dropdown button. If you disable the SplitButton while its popup is open, the component closes the popup automatically.

The following example demonstrates how to toggle the disabled state of the SplitButton.

## Disabled Items

All items in the SplitButton popup are enabled by default. To disable a specific item, set `disabled` to `true` on that item in the [`data`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/buttons/api/splitbuttoncomponent#data) collection. A disabled item remains visible in the popup, but users cannot select it.

The following example demonstrates a SplitButton with a disabled item in its popup.
