Selecting an Item in the C1OutlookBar

C1OutlookBar supports single item selection and allows you to programmatically select an item, giving you control over which item is selected when a user first views the C1Outlookbar.

Suppose you have a C1OutlookBar named C1OutlookBar1 which contains several C1OutlookItems, one of which is named selectedItem:

<c1:C1OutlookBar x:Name="C1OutlookBar1 ">
<c1:C1OutlookItem x:Name="selectedItem" Header="Tasks">

1. Choose View | Code from the Visual Studio menu.

2. Add the following code to your project:

   using C1.Silverlight.OutlookBar;
   namespace C1OutlookBar
   {
       public partial class MainPage : UserControl
       {
           public MainPage()
           {
               InitializeComponent();
               C1OutlookBar1.SelectedItem = (C1OutlookItem)selectedItem;
           }
       }
   }
   

3. Run the project and notice the C1OutlookItem named selectedItem, or in this example the Tasks item, is selected.
