Data Binding

WebExplorerBar™ can bind to an XML data source control or a hierarchical data source control (you can use WebHierarchicalDataSource™ to bind against other types of controls in a hierarchical context, such as object data source controls).

Expand Action

WebExplorerBar™ gives you three ways of expanding a group which allow you to subtly differentiate your control's behavior for users:

  • HeaderClick – By default, a group is expanded when anyplace in that group's header is clicked.
  • ButtonClick – A group is expanded only when the iconic expander button is clicked.
  • HeaderHover – A group is expanded as soon as the mouse pointer hovers above the group's header.

Groups and Items

WebExplorerBar™ consists of a number of groups, each group containing a number of items. Items may themselves be hierarchical, that is, containing one or more sub-items. At any given time, one or more groups may be expanded, depending on the GroupExpandBehavior.

Unbound

WebExplorerBar™ allows you to manually add groups and items at design-time, in code-behind or at run-time for greatest flexibility.
