A bundle of NavigationBar, ExplorerBar, ZoomContentControl, and Breadcrumb controls.
Actipro Navigation for WPF delivers a robust suite of navigation controls designed for desktop applications using Windows Presentation Foundation. This component set enables developers to build intuitive user interfaces with Outlook-style navigation bars, expandable task panes, breadcrumb navigation through hierarchies, and interactive zooming and panning of content. It supports customizable behaviors and smooth animations to enhance user interaction.

NavigationBar Control

Implements an Outlook-style navigation bar that allows users to switch between multiple panes, each containing different content. Supports pane selection via large or small buttons and includes features such as minimization, a customization menu, and an options window for managing pane visibility and order.

ExplorerBar Control

Provides a vertical stack of expandable task panes commonly used to display task-based information. Supports smooth fade and slide animations during expand and collapse, customizable headers including text and images, and options to restrict expansion to a single pane at a time.

ZoomContentControl

Enables any WPF content to be interactively zoomed and scrolled with customizable mouse and keyboard input gestures. Includes an optional view control pane with zoom and pan controls, built-in animation support, and programmatic APIs for manipulating the display.

Breadcrumb Control

Offers a compact navigation element for navigating hierarchical data, similar to a TreeView but optimized for minimal screen space. Displays selected items and ancestor paths, supports auto-minimization and overflow menus, includes an edit mode for path modification, and can show progress indicators and custom action buttons.

End User Customization and Persistence

Allows end users to customize navigation pane layouts, reorder buttons, show or hide panes, and save their configurations in XML format for restoration, providing a personalized and consistent navigation experience.

Smooth Animated Transitions

All expandable elements in NavigationBar and ExplorerBar controls employ smooth fade and slide animations to enhance the visual experience when panes are expanded or collapsed, contributing to a polished user interface.

Right-to-Left and Localization Support

Fully supports right-to-left languages such as Hebrew and Arabic, and includes localization attributes for all text, enabling developers to adapt the controls for global applications.
