TdxCustomFluentDesignForm.NavigationControl Property

Specifies a navigation control associated with the Fluent Design or Ribbon form.

Declaration

property NavigationControl: TWinControl read; write;

Property Value

Type Description
TWinControl

The associated navigation control (TdxNavBar or TdxNavBarOfficeNavigationBar).

Remarks

Use the NavigationControl property to associate the form with an additional DevExpress navigation control displayed as a sidebar.

Ribbon Form

Assign a TdxNavBar or TdxNavBarOfficeNavigationBar control to the NavigationControl to display the control as a sidebar. You can use the UseRibbonArea[1] property for either control to extend it to the top of the Ribbon UI area:

VCL Navigation Bar: Extended Ribbon UI Integration Mode

Fluent Design Form

Assign a TdxNavBar control to the NavigationControl property to embed the control into the Fluent Design form. The assigned control’s Accordion or Hamburger Menu view stretches across the form’s height and overlaps the caption bar if the ExtendNavigationControlToCaption property is set to True. Additionally, the associated Hamburger Menu can switch between inline, overlay, and minimized display modes once the form reaches the corresponding threshold width. Use the AdaptiveLayoutOptions property to adjust this behavior.

Default Value

The NavigationControl property’s default value is nil (in Delphi) or nullptr (in C++Builder).
