Posted this in the general section and it hasn't been getting much attention so I decided to bring it here.
My group is working on a CAD type application and are currently using an Ultra Explorer Bar to display the various "Widgets"
Right now this is a (very crowded) list of Widgets due to having a Basic Widget and then Special Widgets that are a "sub class" of the base widget.
Ex. Base Widget Bob - Specialized Widgets BOB w/ Fliflops, Bob w/ Ball Cap, Bob w/ Tank Top, etc.
What we would like to do to try and cut down on the clutter is to have the Basic Widgets and beside them an expansion indicator that, when clicked, will display a horizontal fly out type menu / tool bar of the various specialized widgets based of that base widget.
I've been looking thru sample code and searching the forums but so far I haven't found anything that resembles this functionality.
Any one have suggestions of what control(s) we can use to achieve this?
Thanks in advance
Steve
Hello,
One thing that you could try in this case is to use a UltraTree inside your UltraExplorerBar, and populate the parent nodes with your Base Widgets, and each node will have a childs which represents your specialized ones.
You could find some similar sample locally on your machine. Just open the samples explorer and under the Navigation the sample is called File Explorer.
Please let me know if you have any further questions with this matter.
