Occurs before the navigation pane is collapsed.
The event handler receives an argument of type NavigationPaneCollapsingEventArgs containing data related to this event. The following NavigationPaneCollapsingEventArgs properties provide information specific to this event.
The following code sample demonstrates how to use the NavigationPaneExpanding and NavigationPaneCollapsing events to handle the expanding and collapsing of the ExplorerBar when it is docked inside a Panel control:
For an overview of how to handle events in Visual Basic or Visual C#, see
Event Handlers in Visual Basic and Visual C#. For specific information and code examples illustrating how to consume events in your application, see
Consuming Events in the
.NET Framework Developer's Guide.
