    Input provides various properties for styling the DbNavigator control, so that you can generate the Input DbNavigator as per your requirement and change the look and feel of the application you are creating.

    The C1DbNavigator class provides the BackColor and ForeColor properties to set the background and foreground colors, respectively. Besides these, it also provides the Styles property to apply styling to different states of DbNavigator such as Default, Disabled, Hot, HotPressed, and Pressed.. The Styles property inherits its attributes from the classes of the C1.Win.Input.DbNavigator.Styles namespace. These classes and their purposes are briefed in the table below:

    Styling classes Description
    DbNavigatorStyles  Contains display attributes that determine the appearance of control.
    NavBaseCustomStyle  Represents the custom styles of the navigation item.
