# NavBar Key Features

Get started with Menus and Toolbars for WinForms. Create versatile menus and docking/floating toolbars. See more in documentation here.

## Content



Highlights of **NavBar for WinForms** include:

*   **Microsoft Outlook-style UI**<br />Group content and navigation menus into distinct categories just like the navigation system used in Microsoft Outlook. This model helps you organize content and allows end-users to navigate quickly.
*   **Built-in Visual Styles**<br />Choose from 8 built-in visual styles including Office 2007, 2010, and 2003 styles. These are all a property setting away.
*   **Collapsible**<br />Enable the [C1NavBar](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/) to collapse on any edge of its container, including left, right, top and bottom.
*   **Embed Controls**<br />Place any arbitrary controls inside each nav panel. This can be done at design-time by simply dragging controls into the panels.
*   **Run-time Customization**<br />The [C1NavBar](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/) buttons can be customized at run-time by clicking on the lower drop-down arrow button. Users can rearrange buttons and choose to show or hide certain buttons.
*   **Stackable Buttons**<br />Use the splitter bar to stack buttons into the strip bar located at the bottom of the navigation bar. When buttons overflow they will appear in the drop-down menu for selection.
*   **Close Button**<br />Allow end-users to close a single panel or the entire navigation bar with a single property.
*   **Extensive Design-time Support**<br />**NavBar** features extensive design-time support, including **SmartDesigner** technology. The context-sensitive floating toolbars are activated with a single mouse click, where you can make changes right on the design surface. This no-code design experience provides hassle-free customization of the entire [C1NavBar](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/) control.
