Typically, you do not need to use the AvailableNavBarViews property, unless you want to add a customView to a NavBarControl.
To change the View for the navbar, use the NavBarControl.PaintStyleName or NavBarControl.PaintStyleKind property.
Example
The following sample code applies all available paint style to the NavBarControl sequentially. A message box is displayed after each style is applied.
The NavBarControl.AvailableNavBarViews property is used to obtain the list of Views available for the control. Each View is applied to the control via the NavBarControl.View property.
using DevExpress.XtraNavBar.ViewInfo;
//...
for (int i = 0; i < navBarControl1.AvailableNavBarViews.Count; i++) {
BaseViewInfoRegistrator vir =
navBarControl1.AvailableNavBarViews[i] as BaseViewInfoRegistrator;
navBarControl1.View = vir;
MessageBox.Show("The " + vir.ViewName + " painting style.", "Information");
}
