Icon SplitButton
Premium

Updated on Aug 28, 2026

You can enhance the textual content of the SplitButton by adding image, predefined, or custom icons to it.

With a view to the web standards, it is better to use a background image because icons are used for decoration and not for representing structural content.

The SplitButton provides options for:

  • Using the built-in KendoReact icons. They are applied through the icon property and displayed as a background for the SplitButton.
  • Adding FontAwesome and other font icons. They are implemented by setting the required third-party CSS classes through the iconClass property.
  • Adding image icons. They are applied through the imageUrl property of the component.

The following example demonstrates how to use the different types of icons in a SplitButton.

Arrow Button Icon

By default, the arrow button of the SplitButton displays a chevron-down icon. To replace it with a different icon, use the arrowButtonSvgIcon property. To use a font icon instead, use the arrowButtonIcon property.

The following example demonstrates how to replace the default chevron-down arrow icon with a custom SVG icon by setting the arrowButtonSvgIcon property.
