# SplitButtonClick

The server-side **SplitButtonClick** event occurs when the user clicks on a SplitButton item, causing a postback.

The event handler function receives two arguments:

1. The **RadRibbonBar** which has fired the event. This argument is of type object, but can be cast to the **RadRibbonBar type**.

2. An EventArgs object with the following properties:

   * **Button** - the button that has been clicked.

   * **SplitButton** - the parent split button of the clicked button.

   * **Group** - the group of the clicked button parent's group.

   * **Index** - the index of the clicked button in its containing group.

```ASPNET
<telerik:RadRibbonBar RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadRibbonBar1" runat="server" OnSplitButtonClick="RadRibbonBar1_SplitButtonClick">
    <telerik:RibbonBarTab Text="Home">
