WebExplorerBar™ supports only one group or item to be selected. When using the mouse, the end user can select a group or item by simply clicking the left mouse button on it, which makes it active and selected. When using the keyboard, the end user activates and selects a node using the Up Arrow or Down Arrow keys.
You can select a group or item by using the following code:
In HTML:
<ig:WebExplorerBar ID="WebExplorerBar1" runat="server">
<Groups>
<ig:ExplorerBarGroup Text="FirstGroup" Selected="true">
<Items>
<ig:ExplorerBarItem Text="FirstItem">
</ig:ExplorerBarItem>
</Items>
</ig:ExplorerBarGroup>
</Groups>
</ig:WebExplorerBar>
In Visual Basic:
'Once you've defined the groups and items at the aspx 'you can select the first group by the following code Me.WebExplorerBar1.Groups(0).Selected = true
In C#:
//Once you've defined the groups and items at the aspx //you can select the first group by the following code this.WebExplorerBar1.Groups[0].Selected = true;
In Javascript:
//once you had wire up to the desired browser event
//add the following code to select the first group
var explorerBar = $find('<%= WebExplorerBar1.ClientID %>');
var items = explorerBar.getExplorerBarItems();
var item = items.getItem(0);
item.set_selected(true);
