Remarks

Known Issues

NavBars should be direct children of document.body. Otherwise, it is possible to mask event detection on the NavBar due to stacking context effects. This is because event detection for other elements is blocked while the NavBar is open. So, if the NavBar is a child of one of those blocked elements, it too will be blocked. This behavior is typical for all overlaying controls.

CSS classes

To customize the NavBar, you can define your own styles for these Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) classes (defined by the Windows Library for JavaScript style sheets):

CSS class Description

win-navbar

Styles the entire NavBar.
