HeaderBar

jQuery

Description

The HeaderBar control displays a title and optional left and right buttons at the top of the form. Buttons can be text, an icon or both. When clicked, HeaderBarID_onclick(choice) is called. The name of the button which is called is in choice. If you have an icon with no name as a button, the name of the icon will be passed.

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 be safe, leave a bit of space under the HeaderBar. Its height differs from device to device.
