B4J Question [ABMaterial] Showing selected item of the ABMNavigationBar

[jinyistudio]

Hi

How to showing the selected item of the ABMNavigationBar ?

This is a 3.00 feature which you will be able to set in the NavigationBar theme.

MyTheme.NavigationBar("nav1theme").SideBarActiveForeColor = ABM.COLOR_RED
MyTheme.NavigationBar("nav1theme").SideBarSubActiveForeColor = ABM.COLOR_RED

 

[mindful]

If you dont want to change the color of the text and just want to mark that item from the sidebar as selected (a grey overlay is placed over the whole sidebar item) you need to use the code below in the method where you build your sidebar items (eg. BuildNavigationBar or ConnectNavigationBar)

page.NavigationBar.ActiveSideReturnName = sideItemReturnName
Page.NavigationBar.ActiveSideSubReturnName = sideSubItemReturnName

where sideItemReturnName and/or sideSubItemReturnName is the returnId of the item that you want it to be marked as selected.

You'll find an example in the Demo project that comes with ABMaterial library.

Hi

What is ActiveTopReturnName !?

page.NavigationBar.ActiveTopReturnName = ActiveTopReturnName

 

[mindful]

What is ActiveTopReturnName !?

It represents a top bar button, it marks as selected if set ... just like the active sidereturnname.
