About xamOutlookBar

The xamOutlookBar™ control emulates the navigation bar found in Microsoft® Outlook®. Just as Outlook separates email-related functionality from calendar-related functionality, you can organize your own application tasks into subsets of related tasks. The xamOutlookBar control has the following features:

  • Groups - Each group is a headered content control that can host a diverse set of controls.

  • Collapsible - Your end users can collapse xamOutlookBar to maximize screen real estate.
