The following example demonstrates Pivot's support for "repeatable" list buttons. A repeatable list button allows a user to easily repeat the action associated with the currently selected item. They are often used to define "rubber stamp" behaviors that are applied to one or more selected items.
For example, the list button in the example allows the user to change the text color of the selected checkboxes. Clicking the drop-down arrow presents a list of color options, and clicking the currently selected color re-applies the color selection to the currently selected checkboxes:
The BXML source for the example is as follows:

The Java source for the example is shown below. The logic for applying the color selection is encapsulated in the anonymous "applyColor" action defined by the applyColorAction member. The rest of the code simply manages the selection state of the checkboxes:
