NavBar

Group menus and controls into distinct categories with this side bar navigation system. ComponentOne NavBar™ for WinForms mimics the Microsoft Outlook navigation bar. It consists of any number of categories represented by buttons where each button has a header as well as a panel for adding information and additional controls.

Features

  • 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 11 built-in Visual Styles including Office 2010, 2007 and 2003 styles. Achieve these Microsoft Outlook-inspired looks by simply setting one property.

  • 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

    ComponentOne NavBar features extensive design-time support, including ComponentOne 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.
