How to: Activate a Group

• Nov 13, 2018

The following sample code obtains the index of the active group. If the active group is not the first within the collection, the first group becomes active.

Note: this example only works for those control paint styles which allow only a single expanded group at a time.

C#

int activeGroupIndex = navBarControl1.Groups.IndexOf(navBarControl1.ActiveGroup);
if (activeGroupIndex != 0) 
   navBarControl1.ActiveGroup = navBarControl1.Groups[0];

VB.NET

Dim ActiveGroupIndex = NavBarControl1.Groups.IndexOf(NavBarControl1.ActiveGroup)
If ActiveGroupIndex <> 0 Then
   NavBarControl1.ActiveGroup = NavBarControl1.Groups(0)
End If
