Action Buttons

The Breadcrumb control supports custom action buttons, which are presented on the right side of the control. These buttons can be used to perform any operation, however for proper usage their purpose should be related to the nodes represented in the Breadcrumb.

Adding an Action Button

Any Button, or Button-derived class, can be added to the ActionButtons collection property using XAML (as shown below) or by calling the Add or Insert methods directly. Because the embedded progress bar can be shown under the action buttons, it is recommended that the PopupButton control (with its transparency mode enabled) be used for action buttons.

This sample code shows how to add an action button:

xmlns:navigation="http://schemas.actiprosoftware.com/winfx/xaml/navigation"
xmlns:shared="http://schemas.actiprosoftware.com/winfx/xaml/shared"
...
<navigation:Breadcrumb ... >
	<navigation:Breadcrumb.ActionButtons>
	<!-- Define action buttons here -->
	<shared:PopupButton Content="New PopupButton"
	                    DisplayMode="ButtonOnly"
	                    IsRounded="false"
	                    IsTransparencyModeEnabled="true" />
	</navigation:Breadcrumb.ActionButtons>
</navigation:Breadcrumb>
