WinForms NavBar Key Features
Collapsible Navigation Bar
Enable the WinForms navigation bar to collapse on any edge of its container, including left, right, top, and bottom. When collapsed, the NavBar control displays just the icons for each group so it remains functional for users while saving screen space.
Run-time Customization
End-users can customize the WinForms NavBar buttons at run time by clicking on the lower drop-down arrow button. This allows users to rearrange buttons and choose to show or hide certain groups.
Stackable Buttons
Users can slide the splitter bar to stack buttons into the strip bar located at the bottom of the navigation bar. When buttons overflow, they will appear in the drop-down menu for selection.
Built-in Visual Styles
Choose from 11 built-in visual styles, including different Office-inspired color schemes. Achieve these Microsoft Outlook-inspired looks by setting one property. Or, customize the theme further using ThemeController.
