VB.NET

<DefaultValue(True)>
Public Property Expanded As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	**true**	true if the group is expanded, otherwise false.

The full sample code can be obtained by using the How to create and load a NavBar group content on a callback example.

C#

public partial class ASPxperience_LoadOnCallback : System.Web.UI.Page {
     protected void LoadGroupContent(NavBarGroup group) {
         Control control = null;
         if(group.Expanded && group.ContentTemplate == null) {
             switch(group.Name) {
                 case "Group1":
                 case "Group2":
                     control = LoadControl("UserControl.ascx");
                     break;
             }
             group.ContentTemplate = control as ITemplate;
         }
     }
     protected void LoadExpandedGroups() {
         for(int i = 0; i < ASPxNavBar1.Groups.Count; i++)
             LoadGroupContent(ASPxNavBar1.Groups[i]);
     }
