NavBarGroup.NavigateUrl Property

Gets or sets an URL which defines the navigation location.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.2.dll

Declaration

[DefaultValue("")]
public string NavigateUrl { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Default Description
String String.Empty

A string value which represents an URL where the client’s web browser will navigate.

Remarks

Use the NavigateUrl property to specify an URL to which the client’s web browser navigates whenever a group’s caption (specified by the NavBarGroup.Text property) or associated image (specified by the NavBarGroup.HeaderImage property) is clicked. If the NavigateUrl property is assigned, the group’s caption (together with a header image, if any) serves as a link - the caption text is displayed underlined in this instance. If this property is set to an empty string (String.Empty) no navigation is performed when clicking the caption of the group.

Example

This example demonstrates how to modify the ASPxNavBar‘s groups and items content.
