I am currently using the Telerik MVC TabStrip for navigation in my application. However, the navigation requirements have become more involved and I now need to implement a sub-menu potentially under each tab option (by using the Telerik MVC Menu).
Does anybody have a working example of this?
Secondly, I would ideally like to bind the whole navigation setup to a sitemap file. Any help on this would be appreciated.
You can define the menu in each partial view which is displayed by the tabstrip. Unfortunately you cannot use the same sitemap to bind both the tabstrip and the menus.

Onsen UI: v2.0.1
AngularJS: 1.5.9
I am building an Android and IOS application that requires dynamic tabs (ons-tab) like in native applications. The content in each tabs can be up to a hundred items. So I want to use ons-lazy-repeat for the ons-tab content to minimize memory consumptions. How do I go about achieving this (dynamic tabs and ons-lazy-repeat ) with Onsen UI. I have searched online and I couldn’t see any solution.
Thank you!
The ons-lazy-repeat component is described in detail in the documentation.
Dynamic tabs can easily be achieved by using the ng-repeat clause of AngularJS. If you don't want to load the content of each tab right at the beginning, you have multiple options like ng-if or ng-include to make sure that only the content of the current visible tab is loaded. You may access and check the visibility of the $index variable that is available in the ng-repeats scope to do so.
See this post how this may be done. Onsen offers a tabbar and tab components which will work the same way as the tab div's in the questions answer.
If you create an empty WPF app, and replace the MainWindow.xaml with the following:
<ribbon:Ribbon xmlns:ribbon="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Windows.Controls.Ribbon;assembly=RibbonControlsLibrary" />
(Note the use of the Ribbon class, not RibbonWindow as is used in most tutorials on the subject.)
Then delete MainWindow.cs and run the app.
It will give you a nice looking window with IE like navigation buttons and under that, the actual ribbon bar.
How do I use those navigation buttons? I have found lots of info on the rest of the Ribbon Bar, but not the navigation buttons.
I have an app with has a navigation stack and I just need to be able to fire an event when the user clicks forward/backward so I can have the app navigate. And of course, I need to be able to enable or disable them depending on the navigation stack.
I have looked, but I don't see any property of the RibbonClass that exposes the buttons.
Navigation buttons are part of the navigation mechanics built into WPF since its Avalon times. They have nothing in common with Ribbon.
See details here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/wpf/app-development/navigation-overview
Well, after no responses here, and no luck Googling, I have come to the conclusion that the navigation buttons are not officially supported, and there are no properties exposing them. I went as far as searching through the source code which is available as part of the WPF Ribbon Download but I found nothing.
So am going to mark this as answered for now.
I am building a WPF Standalone application. It consists of a menu on the left of the window and when a menu option is selected I want a page showing content related to the option selected shown on the right hand side of the window.
If a user selects a different menu option then the new view will be loaded.
If the user selects a previously selected menu option then that view will be shown but it will have held it's state. So if has a result set for customers with "bob" as a first name then when I view it again the result set will still be showing.
My questions is what is the best way to implement this.
Pages are not suitable as the app will not be viewed in a browser.
I could not see a Master Page -> content layout approach.
So is it a case of loading custom controls?
I am using the MVVM pattern.
Any help would be appreciated.
You could use TabControl with TabStripPlacement value set to "Left" - is that what you are looking for?
I managed to implement something similar detailed here using "workspaces". http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd419663.aspx
Have begun a WPF app following mvvm pattern and have hit an issue. I have a Customers page which has a number of searches and returns a list of customers. When I double click a record I want to be able to navigate to the Customer view so user can view/edit details.
Is this possible without using MVVMLight or WAF or PRISM(as I have struggled for a bit getting head into PRISM fully!!!) without forcing my view model to have knowledge of my application?
Thanks
Some people use Dependency Injection to connect VMs with Views in a decoupled way. Take a look at Unity
I would use a seperate / underlaying shell view & viewmodel with just the structure of your ui layout (some grids for positioning navigation, menu, search or content areas)
Then position your application views / controls the shell view. (maybe with some Visibility Bindings)
The main purpose of the shell viewmodel is to coordinate the flow of your ui. For example what control should hide or show based on some events of its child controls.
You could use an eventhandler in your search, wich is registered in the shell viewmodel, to show / hide your different content views.
Another approach could be a ContentPresenter.
So I created a layout in Expression Blend 4 for my Silverlight application. Now I need to create a simple navigation to navigate between pages. I have a canvas control in the layout (MainPage.xaml) and I would like the navigation buttons to just change the content of the canvas.
So if a user clicks on a navigation button for Page1.xaml, the Page1's content will be loaded into the canvas.
Could anybody give me an example how to do it? I tried using the MenuItem control but I could not understand how to use it. Now I have just used buttons but I don't know how to make a navigation from them.
I would love to be wrong about this but Im pretty sure, Blend 2,3,4 (the ones I have used)are just like windows form development your controls are not active until you actually build and run the application.
Sorry
Edit
To answer your comment the menuItem is a simple control that has been predefined like a button or link. The main idea with blend is to give developers and designers the ability to customize the look and feel of control layout in a similar way html uses CSS and javascript.
Try using "Hyperlink Buttons" for your menu and display the content in a "Frame" control.
