Select (Bootstrap)

Description

Compared the Dropdown control, it acts more like other Input controls, with a header and a footer. Dropdown acts more like a button and does not allow multiple selections.

Popovers and Tooltips are supported.

Note: Changes were made to the Bootstrap 4 version of this control, starting with AppStudio 7.2.

• .addItem changed from(item, type) to (text, value, selected, disabled)
