Add navigation
features only previously available in Microsoft Visio.
ctListBar is a multi-column navigation component capable of displaying sets of sliding lists; each
list containing its own group of items. A List item may be
represented by text and/or an image (icons or bitmaps). ctListBar
offers traditional navigation when clicking on a list bar button
sliding the selected list and its items into view. When there are
more list items than can be displayed within the viewable space,
navigation buttons automatically appear allowing the
end-user to scroll through the otherwise hidden items.
