NavigatorBase Class

Serves as a base for DataNavigator and ControlNavigator classes.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

public abstract class NavigatorBase :
    BaseStyleControl,
    INavigatorOwner

Remarks

The NavigatorBase class is abstract and cannot be used directly. It serves as a base for (db and non-db) navigators used to move through the records in a dataset and perform operations against the data.

The NavigatorBase.TabStop property allows you to specify whether the navigator can be focused using the TAB key. The navigator button’s look is specified by the NavigatorBase.ButtonStyle property.

Example

The following code creates a new DataNavigator control, binds it to a data source, and specifies custom images for control buttons at runtime. Custom images are stored in an ImageCollection object.

DataNavigator ctor

using DevExpress.XtraEditors;

private void CreateDataNavigator() {
    // Create a new DataNavigator control
    DataNavigator dataNavigator = new DataNavigator();
    Controls.Add(dataNavigator);
    dataNavigator.Height = 40;
    dataNavigator.Dock = DockStyle.Bottom;
    // Bind to a data source
    dataNavigator.DataSource = productsBindingSource;
    // Specify the ImageCollection that stores custom images for DataNavigator buttons
    dataNavigator.Buttons.ImageList = imageCollection1;
    for (int i = 0; i < dataNavigator.Buttons.ButtonCollection.Count; i++) {
        dataNavigator.Buttons.ButtonCollection[i].ImageIndex = i;
    }
    dataNavigator.ShowToolTips = true;
}
