Dropdown Button in UWP

I'm unable to use the DropDownButton in my UWP app. Is there an extension or reference that I need to use before the control name?

If not, is there an alternative of the control?
I can't use the ComboBox as I need the header text in the button, not above it.

Solution

  • Set the target version to 1809 or higher or install the Windows UI Library.

    Don't fortget to add <XamlControlsResources xmlns="using:Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls"/> to your Application.Resources as explained in the docs.

    Or add xmlns:controls="using:Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls" at the top of your XAML file and then add the control using <controls:DropDownButton />.
