Instead of showing the Navigation Pane flyout immediately beside the collapsed Navigation Pane, you can have it appear wherever you like, perhaps as a context menu displaying on a right-click. All you need to do is invoke the ShowNavigationPaneFlyout method in a MouseUp event while passing it the mouse coordinates.
The following code will retrieve the mouse coordinates and display the Navigation Pane flyout on a right-click.
In Visual Basic:
Private Sub btnShowFlyoutPane_MouseUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles btnShowFlyoutPane.MouseUp ' e will give the coordinates with respect to the button, ' not the entire form, so we need to add the location ' of the button on the form as well. Dim point1 As Integer = e.X + Me.btnShowFlyoutPane.Location.X Dim point2 As Integer = e.Y + Me.btnShowFlyoutPane.Location.Y If e.Button = System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then ' This displays the Navigation Pane flyout at the ' coordinates we established above. Me.ultraExplorerBar1.ShowNavigationPaneFlyout(New Point(point1, point2)) End If End Sub
In C#:
private void btnShowFlyoutPane_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { // e will give the coordinates with respect to the button, // not the entire form, so we need to add the location // of the button on the form as well. int point1 = e.X + this.btnShowFlyoutPane.Location.X; int point2 = e.Y + this.btnShowFlyoutPane.Location.Y; if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right) { // This displays the Navigation Pane flyout at the // coordinates we established above. this.ultraExplorerBar1.ShowNavigationPaneFlyout(new Point(point1,point2)); } }
