Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Navigation
Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Controls.v23.2.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Controls
Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Boolean | true, if selecting an element automatically shows the primary drop-down tile bar on selecting a navigation element; otherwise, false. The default is false. |
Remarks
Tile navigation elements are rendered as tiles within drop-down tile bars. If a tile navigation item contains sub-items, its tile is rendered with the drop-down button. A click on this button invokes the secondary drop-down tile bar which displays the sub-items as tiles.
The default behavior, when the ContinuousNavigation property is set to false, is as follows. A click on a tile selects the corresponding element. The selected element is displayed as the last link of the breadcrumbs navigation aide in the nav bar. The primary drop-down tile bar is immediately closed once the element has been selected. To show tiles corresponding to the new selected element, an end-user should click this element in the breadcrumbs aide.
The following animated image demonstrates this behavior.
If the ContinuousNavigation property is set to true, the drop-down tile bar remains open when an element (tile) is selected, provided that this element contains child elements. The tile bar will automatically update its contents displaying these child elements as tiles.
