Namespace: DevExpress.XtraBars.Navigation

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#

public event NavigationBarNavigationClientSynchronizeItemEventHandler SynchronizeNavigationClientSelectedItem

VB.NET

<DXCategory("Navigation Client")>
Public Event SynchronizeNavigationClientSelectedItem As NavigationBarNavigationClientSynchronizeItemEventHandler

Event Data

The SynchronizeNavigationClientSelectedItem event's data class is DevExpress.XtraBars.Navigation.NavigationBarNavigationClientSynchronizeItemEventArgs.

Remarks

When you associate the OfficeNavigationBar with a target navigation control by using the OfficeNavigationBar.NavigationClient property, the OfficeNavigationBar automatically generates items that match items of the associated control. For instance, if you have a Navigation Bar with four groups, the OfficeNavigationBar will receive four items. End-users will be able to click them in order to change which navigation bar group is currently visible. By handling the SynchronizeNavigationClientSelectedItem event, you can remap the relations between OfficeNavigationBar items and items of the associated navigation control. The code below illustrates how to do that for the mentioned example and invert the default relations (for instance, clicking on ‘Group 4’ item will display navigation bar’s ‘Group 1’).

C#

private void OfficeNavigationBar1_SynchronizeNavigationClientSelectedItem(object sender, DevExpress.XtraBars.Navigation.NavigationBarNavigationClientSynchronizeItemEventArgs e) {
    string clickedItem = e.Item.Text;
    switch (clickedItem) {
        case "Group 1": e.Result = navBarGroup4; break;
        case "Group 2": e.Result = navBarGroup3; break;
        case "Group 3": e.Result = navBarGroup2; break;
        case "Group 4": e.Result = navBarGroup1; break;
    }
}

VB.NET

Private Sub OfficeNavigationBar1_SynchronizeNavigationClientSelectedItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DevExpress.XtraBars.Navigation.NavigationBarNavigationClientSynchronizeItemEventArgs)
    Dim clickedItem As String = e.Item.Text
    Select Case clickedItem
        Case "Group 1"
            e.Result = navBarGroup4
        Case "Group 2"
            e.Result = navBarGroup3
        Case "Group 3"
            e.Result = navBarGroup2
        Case "Group 4"
            e.Result = navBarGroup1
    End Select
End Sub
