Styling View Content Elements

• May 22, 2020

If you need to modify the style settings of view content elements (such as groups and items), you can perform a centralized style customization by using the following two properties: NavBarViewBase.GroupVisualStyle and NavBarViewBase.ItemVisualStyle.

Styling Groups

Using the NavBarViewBase.GroupVisualStyle property, a common group header style for all groups within the DXNavBar can be applied. For instance, you can create a style defining the common group appearance, and assign this style to the NavBarViewBase.GroupVisualStyle property of the current view.

NOTE

A common group style defined via the NavBarViewBase.GroupVisualStyle property can be overridden at the group level. An individual style can be assigned to each group by using the group's NavBarGroup.VisualStyle property.

Styling Items

Using the NavBarViewBase.ItemVisualStyle property, a common style for all items within the DXNavBar can be applied. So, you can create a style defining the common item appearance and assign this style to the NavBarViewBase.ItemVisualStyle property of the current view.

NOTE

A common item style defined via the NavBarViewBase.ItemVisualStyle property can be overridden at the group level (via the NavBarGroup.ItemVisualStyle property) and at the item level (via the NavBarItem.VisualStyle property).
