Below is an example of a button with a drop-down list containing two actions.

<popupButton id="popupButton" caption="msg://popupButton" description="Press me">
    <actions>
        <action id="popupAction1" caption="msg://action1" invoke="someAction1"/>
        <action id="popupAction2" caption="msg://action2" invoke="someAction2"/>
    </actions>
</popupButton>

The button has a caption, which is specified using the caption attribute, and a tooltip defined in the description attribute. The drop-down actions list is specified in the actions element. PopupButton displays only the following action properties: caption, enable, visible. The description and shortcut properties are ignored. Handling of the icon property depends on the cuba.gui.showIconsForPopupMenuActions application property and the showActionIcons attribute of the component. The latter has priority.
