Data Navigator Controls

The DataNavigator control is designed to navigate through the specified dataset and perform data management operations against it such as inserting or deleting records, posting or canceling changes, etc. This control is especially useful if you design editor-based data-editing forms. The ControlNavigator control allows custom navigation mechanisms depending upon the control it is bound to. To use this control, the navigation target must implement a specially designed interface. For instance, the XtraGrid control implements this interface to allow navigation from master to detail views and vice versa.

The main features provided by the navigator controls are:

• Customizable image, hint, visibility and enabled state for each button.
• The ability to add any number of buttons.
• Auto-repeat functionality for buttons.
• Optional text section that displays the current position.
