Property Value

Type	Description
NavGroupCollection	A NavGroupCollection object holding a collection of groups.

Remarks

Each group of the NavBarControl is represented by a NavBarGroup object. The collection of such objects is accessed via the control’s Groups property.

You can also use the Groups property to access individual groups by their indexes or captions specified via the parameter.

Example

The following sample code demonstrates how to iterate through groups and item links. The group collection is accessed via the NavBarControl.Groups property. Links are accessed via the group’s NavBarGroup.ItemLinks property.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraNavBar;
//...
for (int i = 0; i < navBarControl1.Groups.Count; i++) {
   NavBarGroup currGroup = navBarControl1.Groups[i];
   // perform some operations on a group here
   //...
   for (int j = 0; j < currGroup.ItemLinks.Count; j++) {
      NavBarItemLink currLink = currGroup.ItemLinks[j];
      // perform some operations on a link here
      //...
   }
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraNavBar
' ...
Dim I, J As Integer
For I = 0 To NavBarControl1.Groups.Count - 1
   Dim CurrGroup As NavBarGroup = NavBarControl1.Groups(I)
   ' perform some operations on a group here
   '...
   For J = 0 To CurrGroup.ItemLinks.Count - 1
      Dim CurrLink As NavBarItemLink = CurrGroup.ItemLinks(J)
      ' perform some operations on a link here
      '...
