[DefaultValue(true)]
[XtraSerializableProperty]
public bool ShowGroupHint { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(True)>
<XtraSerializableProperty>
Public Property ShowGroupHint As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	true	true if group hints are displayed; otherwise false.

Remarks

Use the NavElement.Hint property of a NavBarGroup object to specify a group’s hint. The desired NavBarGroup object can be obtained via the NavBarControl.Groups property.

You can also specify group hints by writing a NavBarControl.GetHint event handler.

Example

The following sample code assigns hints to all groups of the NavBarControl control. This is performed via the NavElement.Hint property of NavBarGroup objects. Group captions are assigned as hint text.

The NavBarControl.ShowGroupHint property is set to true to enable displaying of group hints. Review the image below for an example of code execution results.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraNavBar;
// ...
for (int i = 0; i < navBarControl1.Groups.Count; i++) {
   NavBarGroup currGroup = navBarControl1.Groups[i];
   currGroup.Hint = currGroup.Caption;
}
navBarControl1.ShowGroupHint = true;

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraNavBar
' ...
Dim I As Integer
For I = 0 To NavBarControl1.Groups.Count - 1
   Dim CurrGroup As NavBarGroup = NavBarControl1.Groups(I)
   CurrGroup.Hint = CurrGroup.Caption
Next
NavBarControl1.ShowGroupHint = True
