Select button control

The select button control is used for creating a push button that hides multiple options in XBMC. You can choose the position, size, and look of the button, as well as what it looks like when it's pushed in (option arrows etc.)

When the button is pushed, two arrows pop up allowing you to alter the contents of the button (thus select different options). Used to alter the current View mode in My Videos and My Music.
