On Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs, a split button control has a button and a menu. The menu includes commands for secondary functionality. For example, the input panel uses a split button.
When you include split buttons in your application, use the following guidelines:
- The text or icon for a split button control should update to reflect the last item selected from the menu.
- The split button control has limited use and requires greater stylus accuracy.

Label Attributes
Keep labels brief to conserve space.
On Windows Mobile–based Pocket PC devices, use the 8pt Tahoma bold font and title capitalization.

Although a split button control usually uses an icon, it is acceptable to use text in place of an icon.
