It supports interactive customization, overflow handling, and container panes that can host any child controls, suitable for desktop applications requiring sophisticated navigation.

Button-controlled Panes

The navigation bar displays buttons that provide immediate access to each navigation pane, enabling simple switching between content areas with a single click.

Pane Content Hosting

Each pane can display data directly or act as a container for other child controls, offering flexibility in presenting complex user interfaces within the navigation bar structure.

Overflow Chevron Button

An overflow button reveals additional customization options and access to buttons that may be hidden due to limited space, helping to maintain a clean interface.

Customization Menu

The navigation bar includes a ready-to-use menu for users to show or hide buttons for various panes, allowing interactive personalization of the navigation options available.

Support for Large and Small Images

Button visuals can be enhanced with large or small images, providing a visually appealing and clear user interface for easier navigation.

Separate NavigationBarPanel Control

This feature acts as a container control that can host child controls within navigation panes, promoting modular and organized interface design.

Designer Support
