Highlights of NavBar for WinForms include:
- Microsoft Outlook-style UI
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
Choose from 8 built-in visual styles including Office 2007, 2010, and 2003 styles. These are all a property setting away.
- Collapsible
Enable the C1NavBar to collapse on any edge of its container, including left, right, top and bottom.
- Embed Controls
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
The C1NavBar 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
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
Allow end-users to close a single panel or the entire navigation bar with a single property.
- Extensive Design-time Support
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 control.
