Remarks

UXDropDownButton is an advanced button control that represents one or more commands in the form of dropdown menu. This dropdown menu is created using UXContextMenu control which uses UXPopup as its fundamental architecture.

Consequently, the dropdown menu of UXDropDownButton has similar features that UXPopup provides, such as positioning, hide and display animation, etc.

To learn more about the popup mechanism see Popup Overview.
