I have a situation where I would like to use the UltraExplorerBar Outlook view, but would like to handle three layers. In particular, Accounting would be the top-level group followed by GL/AR/AP subgroup items, each with groups within them. I picture these GroupItem types being displayed as a tree when the top-lvel group is selected.
Example:
Accounting GL JV Entry GL Interface Reports AR Bank Recon Reports AP Dispersements Reports
In this case, Accounting would be the top level box and, if selected, the GL/AR/AP tree would display as "items".
Is this possible?
Assuming you are referring to the 'Mail' view of the OutlookNavigationPane, you need a custom UserControl to achieve that look. There is a C# sample, 'OutlookExplorer', that ships with the product; this sample demonstrates how to construct such a user control with 2 UltraTree controls and some other miscellaneous Infragistics controls. If that is not what youare going for please provide more detail, or a screen shot if possible.
What I am going for is the look and feel of Outlook. With the top level group items displayed as "boxes" and the nav tree displaying in the selected item at the top of the control.
Will this be what happens by using the UltraTree as described above?
You could set the UltraExplorerBarGroup.Settings.Style property to ControlContainer, add an UltraTree to the container control, and add nodes to the tree for each item you want to present.
