Is it possible to create a split button using Infragistics (outside of the Ribbon) that looks like the "Change your view" button in Windows File Explorer for Windows 7? Below is an image on the internet that show the button I am describing.
The left side of the button behaves like a normal button with a click action and the right side is a drop down menu that which contains menu items with their own click actions.
Thanks,

Hello Eric,
Thank you for your post. I have been looking into it and I can say that you are able to use the MenuTool outside of the XamRibbon. I have created a sample project for you showing how to do so. Please let me know if this helps you or you need further assistance on this matter.
Looking forward for your reply.
Thanks for the reply. I was able to reproduce your example but I have a few questions/issues. First, it says in the help documentation "A tool that can be placed inside a RibbonGroup, ApplicationMenu, ApplicationMenuFooterToolbar or another MenuTool." Its minor but maybe this needs to be updated to say that it does not have to be inside any Infragistics control? Second, when the mouse is not over the MenuTool its almost invisible. All I can see is the Icon, Caption, and a little tiny down arrow. I believe this is because its really meant to be placed in the Ribbon. This style makes sense on the ribbon but not when its just sitting on a form. Is there anyway to get the style to look more like the picture above or am I on my own to create my own style?
