    Hi Peter,

    I want to display alarm messages with the NavigationBar. An item should only expand to show the alarm details, if the user clicks the item and should collaps if the user clicks again the same item.
    So what I need:
    1. No initial expanding
    2. Collapsing an item by clicking the item again

    If this is not possible with the NavigationBar, could you recommend another jqw control ?

    Best Regards
    Carlo

    Hi Carlo,

    You can achieve that by setting the expandMode property to ‘toggle’. Example: http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxnavigationbar/toggle.htm?arctic

    Hi Peter,

    I should read the docs more carefully.
    We have to remove/add/change itmes on the fly with special formating. May the add/insert/update methods header and content parameter contain html or only plain text?

    Best Regards
    Carlo

    Hi Carlo,

    It could be HTML String, not just a plain Text.

    Example:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title id='Description'>The sample demonstrates the "toggle" mode of jqxNavigationBar. Click on any item to toggle its state.</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../jqwidgets/styles/jqx.base.css" type="text/css" />
        <script type="text/javascript" src="../../scripts/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="../../scripts/demos.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxcore.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxnavigationbar.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(document).ready(function () {
                // Create jqxNavigationBar
                $("#jqxNavigationBar").jqxNavigationBar({ width: 400, height: 430, expandMode: 'toggle' });
                $("#jqxNavigationBar").jqxNavigationBar('add', '<b>Header</b>', '<i>Content</i>');
            });
        </script>
    </head>
    <body class='default'>
        <div id='jqxWidget' style="float: left;">

    Hi Peter,

    1. How can we remove all items before adding new ones with ‘add’ ?
    2. It is not possible to scroll the navbar on a iPhone without expanding the item where one starts scrolling.

    Best regards
    Carlo

    Hi Carlo,

    1. May be it would be better to remove the widget and create it again if you want to remove all of its items. If you want to remove items, you can also use the “remove” method.
    2. The NavigationBar does not support scrolling. It can have Expandable Headers and Content, but there’s no scrollbar in this widget.

    Hi Peter,

    which jqw control do you recommend for displaying a dynamic list of alarms ? It should be touch friendly and capable of displaying alarm details on click.

    Best Regards,
    Carlo

    Hi Carlo,

    The NavigationBar is touch-friendly. When you touch a Header, the content is either expanded or collapsed. That’s the expected behavior. If you want to display dynamic items, then you will need to dynamically add and remove items. Example: http://jsfiddle.net/XGGtH/

    Hi Peter,

    we tried swiping the NavigationBar and the ListMenue. Swiping the NavigationBar on touch devices is not possible.Put 30 items into NavigationBar so you have something to scroll and try to swipe the list up and down. Scrolling does happen, but the list item where you start swiping will be expanded. The ListMenue does a better job in swiping, but does mark multiples list items when swiping.

    Best Regards
    Carlo
