There are several global properties related to DataWindow page navigation. Set the navigation bar at the top or the bottom of a DataWindow page by modifying the PBDataWindowNavigationBarPosition property.
- QuickGo — edit labels for the QuickGo navigation bar and the text for the current and total page counts by modifying the PBDataWindowGoToDescription, PBDataWindowGoToButtonText, and PBDataWindowStatusInfoFormat properties.
- NextPrev — this figure shows the default NextPrev navigation
bar:
It shows page status information with default text
for the current and total page count. You can use the PBDataWindowStatusInfoFormat property to modify the text.
The NextPrev navigation bar includes the > symbol for navigating to the next page, and the < symbol for navigating to the previous page. Doubled symbols are controls for navigating to the first page (<<) or last page (>>). The navigation bar folds up to show only symbols that are functional when a user displays the first or last page of a DataWindow. For example, the user cannot navigate to a previous page from the first page, and navigating to the first page is unnecessary, so the < and << symbols do not display on the first page.
- NumericWithQuickGo — this figure shows the NumericWithQuickGo navigation bar: The numeric portion of the navigation bar lists each page by its page number. You can set the PBDataWindowPageNavigatorType to Numeric or to QuickGo if you want to use these styles separately. You can also combine the NextPrev style with the QuickGo style by setting the PBDataWindowPageNavigatorType property to NextPrevWithQuickGo.
Although the QuickGo navigation control appears by default as a drop-down list, you can change this to a text box with an associated command button by setting the PBDataWindowQuickGoPageNavigatorType property to Button. You can edit the button label by setting the PBDataWindowGoToButtonText property. You set the label for the text box or the drop-down list by modifying the PBDataWindowGoToDescription property.
