Uh, list buttons do trigger actions. ?!?
MenuButton is not exactly the same: with ListButton I can sort of "select an
action", and then repeatedly invoke the same action by hitting the button again
and again. With MenuButton, the label and icon don't change if I select an
entry. (Of course I could do that programmatically).
> ListButton: show popup only on triangle click

> I found this to be a requirement in my application: if the user clicks the
> label part of a LinkButton, the button should fire immediately without
> showing the popup, thus invoking the action with the currently selected
> entry. If the user clicks the triangle part, the popup should be shown.
> I patched LinkButton to add a new boolean property called
> "showPopupOnTriggerClickOnly" to TerraListButtonSkin (I couldn't think of a
> better name, sorry). If set to true, the ListButton popup will only show up
> if the user clicks the triangle, but not if the user clicks the rest of the
> button. However, ButtonPressListeners fire as usual, if the user clicks any
> part of the button. If the property is false, the behavior is as it was
> before. The default value of the property is false.
> I tested the patch in my application and ComponentExplorer and it works good.
> It would be nice if you integrate the patch. Otherwise I'd still have the
> option to write a custom skin, but I think this patch could be interesting to
> other developers as well.
