ButtonChoice 

A ButtonChoice is a button that offers various options through a triangle symbol.

If the user clicks on the triangle symbol, a menu opens from which an action can be selected. A specific action is executed when the user selects the relevant menu entry. The repeatSelectedAction property enables the action last selected to stay on the button after the action has been executed. By pressing the button it can be executed again.

A ButtonChoice functions exactly like a ToolBarButtonChoice, but it is used differently - ButtonChoice can be used outside of a tool bar.

Example of the Visual Display

To enable the development of accessible applications, the tooltip property is checked during the syntax check if the property text is not set.
