Creating sub folder/child groups of an UltraExplorerBarGroup
posted

Hi there

I am using the UltraExplorerBar v8.2 with an UltraExplorerBarStyle of OutlookNavigationPane

Currently I am successfully adding UltraExplorerBarGroup objects and UltraExplorerBarItem objects to those groups. I have been asked to investigate whether it is possible to create sub folders/child groups of an UltraExplorerBarGroup and to then add the UltraExplorerBarItem objects to these sub folders/child groups.

Is this possible with v8.2 and/or the OutlookNavigationPane?

Could somebody give me few pointers on how to go about this?

Is there a sample of this functionality?

Regards

    Strictly speaking the answer to your question is no - there is no notion of "sub-groups" with the UltraExplorerBar control. However, if you want something like the Mail pane in MS Oulook, where the Mailbox is depicted as a folder, with sub-folders appearing as children of the Mailbox node, you can set the UltraExplorerBar.GroupSettings.Style property to ControlContainer (or maybe its ContainerControl), and then parent an UltraTree control to the group's Container. The 'OutlookExplorer' sample, which is included in the SDK, demonstrates this concept.
