It is just like a data button bar, except the buttons are manually defined instead of being driven by a data item.

Thanks for your important response , i got your point, But why these two are available, only "data button bar" is sufficient for convenient use, rather manually define the other control with button bar;

Let's say you wanted to have two buttons to allow you select between two different views of the same data in a deck - one a crosstab and one a chart. A data button bar wouldn't give you these two selections, unless you had a table in your database that contained a column with these two values (Crosstab and Chart) in it. In this case a button bar would be the appropriate object to use, and you would define your two buttons manually.
