NavBar

Description

The Navbar control puts up to 5 buttons anyplace on the form. Buttons can be text, an icon or both. When clicked, <NavBarID>_onclick(choice) is called. The name of the button which is called is in choice. If the text of the button has a space in it, it is replaced by an underbar. For example, "Edit Text" will call onclick with "Edit_Text"

To add a control to your app, choose the control’s icon in the Toolbar, then position it on the Design Screen. Use the Property Editor to set the properties you need, then add functions to your code to respond to the events that come from the control: usually, just onclick.

To select and unselect buttons in code:

   $("#NavBar1_0").addClass("ui-btn-active")
   $("#NavBar1_1").removeClass("ui-btn-active")
