A single shared container for all explorer groups?
posted

I have a need to have a single shared container that shows regardless of which group I am on in an UltraExplorerBar in OutlookNavigationPane mode. I basically want to have the groups at the bottom be selectors for things in my application and in the area at the top (set to control style) have it just display static content, as if it were a static panel. Is this possible, or do I have to create a user control, then drop that onto each individual groups control containers?

    I actually figured this out, just in case anyone is interested, and it wasn't rocket science.

    Basically, I just created a group and then set the other groups control container to the same thing, I.E.

            Dim Group As New Infragistics.Win.UltraWinExplorerBar.UltraExplorerBarGroup
            Group.Settings.Style = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinExplorerBar.GroupStyle.ControlContainer
            Group.Container = UltraExplorerBarContainerControl_MAIN
            Group.Text = "Group1"
            Group.Key = "Group1"

            Dim Group2 As New Infragistics.Win.UltraWinExplorerBar.UltraExplorerBarGroup
            Group2.Settings.Style = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinExplorerBar.GroupStyle.ControlContainer
            Group2.Container = UltraExplorerBarContainerControl_MAIN
            Group2.Text = "Group2"
            Group2.Key = "Group2"

            UltraExplorerBar1.Groups.Add(Group)

            UltraExplorerBar1.Groups.Add(Group2)
