Customizing Group Layout

The NavBar control provides the following capabilities for group layout customization:

  • Runtime layout customization using the Customization Form.

  • Reordering. End-users can move groups within the NavBar control using drag and drop. To enable this, set the fAllowDragGroup and fAllowDropGroup options via the control’s OptionsBehavior.Common.DragDropFlags property. At design time, you can reorder groups via the Groups page in the NavBar designer. To accomplish this in code, use the group’s Index property.

  • Vertical Resizing in Explorer Bar Views. To enable splitters, which allow end-users to vertically resize groups with embedded controls, set the group’s OptionsGroupControl.AllowControlResizing property to True.

  • Vertical Alignment in Explorer Bar Views. You can align groups to the top or bottom edge of the NavBar control. To accomplish this, use the group’s Align property.
