Themes: SideBar
Example : Grey SideBar (MenuStrip) at base of screen.
This sets the device SideBar menu appearance and the SideBar Thumb (extended area) appearance. which can be added and customized for your application so the user may have access to additional system functions such as scanning, access to a soft keyboard, mobile profile settings in the client device.
Refer to the Graphical UI Control Definitions for information on properties.
Refer to the topic How to create a SideBar for details on adding or customizing the SideBar for specific applications.
Note that the selection of default icons for these are sourced from Configuration > SideBar and Key Settings > SideBar Default Configuration. They can also be sourced from a specific application if configured properly.
SideBar Theme Properties
Active - Displays the SideBar in the form at design time and runtime when Active is set to True. If set to False, it does not display automatically. All keyboard input and mouse operations on objects outside the sidebar will now invoke the auto-hide logic.
AutoHide + Active - When AutoHide and Active are both True, the SideBar will be visible at login. It remains visible until you hide it via script or a button with "Action = Show/Hide SideBar."
AutoHide + NonActive - When AutoHide is False and Active is True, the SideBar stays hidden until your script or action request causes it to be shown. Then the SideBar will close after the user clicks on it or there's an interaction with another control/object.
NonAutoHide + NonActive - When AutoHide and Active are both False, the SideBar will initially hide and will remain in the state you selected until a show or hide action is requested or scripted.
Background - Stylizes the background color of the sidebar.
Border, BorderColor - the color of the border.
DockMode - Stations the SideBar to the Top, Left, Right, or Bottom of screen.
