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.

Set Minimum Target version to 1809

Right click on Toolbox -> Choose Items -> Microsoft.UI.XAML

You should just be able to drag and drop like normal.

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 />.

You need to target the proper minimum version. It should work without any additional settings if you set the min target to Windows 10, version 1809.
