C1WebTopicBar, a descendant from the C1WebCustomFlatControl class, is a flat type Web control since it only has two levels. The C1WebTopicBar provides users the possibility to implement elegant Windows XP – styled or custom designed navigation panels on their Web pages. C1WebTopicBar consists of groups that contain items. These items can be collapsed or expanded.
The C1WebTopicBar has a full range of capabilities, some of which are listed below:
• Implementing cascading style sheets.
• Combining built-in functions from other controls into the panel groups.
• Dragging and dropping group headers.
• Modifying or customizing the appearance of the C1WebTopicBar.
• Enabling Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML) when expanding groups of data.
The C1WebTopicBar features a C1WebTopicBarGroup Collection Editor which provides ease-of-use editing to the C1WebTopicBar. As a result, it will take the user less time to create powerful navigation panels.
The following image represents the C1WebTopicBar as it appears on the Web form:
Its default settings include a single Group that contains four different types of items. The first item is a link item that is in Normal state. The second item is also a link item type, but it is in Selected state. The third item is a C1WebSeparator item which is also known as a delimiter, and the fourth item is a link item that is in Disabled state.
