6 May 20216 minutes to readThis topic illustrates the how to work with group-bar items.Status of the GroupBar ItemYou can enable or disable the dragging of items using the DraggingItemInProgress property. This is a dependency property which gets or sets the value indicating whether the dragging of the items is in progress.Use the below code snippet to set this property.XAMLC# Height="200" DraggingItemInProgress="True" Width="230" Name="groupBar"> Name="groupBarItem" Header="GroupBarItem"> Orientation="Vertical"> Text="GroupBar Orientation" Margin="4,4,2,2"/> IsChecked="True" Margin="4,2,2,2">Horizontal Margin="4,2,2,2">Vertical Text="GroupView Orientation" Margin="4,4,2,2"/> Margin="4,2,2,2">Horizontal IsChecked="True" Margin="4,2,2,2">Vertical Name="groupBarItem1" HeaderImageSource="Label.gif" Header="General"> Name="groupView" IsListViewMode="True"> Text="List View"/> Text="Show ContextMenu"/> Text="Show ToolTip"/> //Setting the items in progress while dragginggroupBar.DraggingItemInProgress = true; Cursor Type for the GroupBar ItemYou can customize the cursor type of GroupBar item using the GroupBarItemCursorType property. This dependency property sets the type of cursor for the groupbar item. There are two types of built-in cursor types available for the GroupBar item. They are as follows. Default – default cursor type is displayed while moving the mouse over GroupBar item Hand – hand cursor type is displayed while moving the mouse over GroupBar itemUse the below code snippet to set this property.XAMLC# Height="200" GroupBarItemCursorType="Hand" Width="230" Name="groupBar"> Name="groupBarItem" Header="GroupBarItem"> Orientation="Vertical"> Text="GroupBar Orientation" Margin="4,4,2,2"/> IsChecked="True" Margin="4,2,2,2">Horizontal Margin="4,2,2,2">Vertical Text="GroupView Orientation" Margin="4,4,2,2"/> Margin="4,2,2,2">Horizontal IsChecked="True" Margin="4,2,2,2">Vertical Name="groupBarItem1" HeaderImageSource="Label.gif" Header="General"> Name="groupView" IsListViewMode="True"> Text="List View"/> Text="Show ContextMenu"/> Text="Show ToolTip"/> //Setting the cursor type for GroupBar itemgroupBar.GroupBarItemCursorType = ItemCursorType.Hand; Content Length of the GroupBar ItemYou can also set the length of the content in GroupBar item. This is done using the ItemContentLength property. This dependency property sets the height or width available for the content of the selected item, i.e., it sets the height for the content, if GroupBar layout is vertical, and width for the content, if GroupBar layout is horizontal.Use the below code snippet to set this property.XAMLC# Height="200" Width="230" ItemContentLength="100" Name="groupBar"> Name="groupBarItem" Header="GroupBarItem" IsSelected="True"> Orientation="Vertical"> Text="GroupBar Orientation" Margin="4,4,2,2"/> IsChecked="True" Margin="4,2,2,2">Horizontal Margin="4,2,2,2">Vertical Text="GroupView Orientation" Margin="4,4,2,2"/> Margin="4,2,2,2">Horizontal IsChecked="True" Margin="4,2,2,2">Vertical Name="groupBarItem1" HeaderImageSource="Label.gif" Header="General"> Name="groupView" IsListViewMode="True"> Text="List View"/> Text="Show ContextMenu"/> Text="Show ToolTip"/> //Set the length of the contentgroupBar.ItemContentLength = 100;You can get the hidden GroupBar items and do some operation depending upon the visibility by using the property HiddenItemsCount. This dependency property gets the number of GroupBar items that are hidden.Use the below code to set this property.C#int count;//Get the hidden GroupBar itemscount=groupBar.HiddenItemsCount;Setting Corner Radius for the GroupBar ItemIt is now possible to set the corner radius of GroupBar Items in the GroupBar by using the GroupBarItemCornerRadius property. This helps the user to specify the degree of roundness at the tip of the GroupBar.The following code examples illustrate how to set this property.XAMLC# HeaderText="Mailbox" GroupBarItemCornerRadius="20" ShowInGroupBar="True">// Creating an instance of GroupBar.GroupBar groupBar = new GroupBar();// Creating an instance of GroupBar Item.GroupBarItem groupBarItem = new GroupBarItem();// Setting Header Text for

(1983) – information workers often switch between concurrent tasks Rooms (Card & Henderson, 1987) Working sets of windows Large displays & multimon lead to more open windows (4 > 12 > 16) Interruptions lead to more task switching 3 Microsoft Research 3 of 22 OZCHI 2003: New Directions in Interaction Windows TaskBar Problems TaskBar does not support task switching Many operations required to make a switch TaskBar does not scale well Grouping by application rather than task Hypothesis: Movement, switching, & layout primitives at multi-window level can save time and effort 4 Microsoft Research 4 of 22 OZCHI 2003: New Directions in Interaction Related Work Virtual Desktop Managers Smalltalk Project Views Rooms X-Windows BeOS workspaces Linux – KDE desktops, etc. Win32 ISV products: XDesk, GoScreen, Flash Desktops, DesksAtWill, etc. (not yet built into Windows) Rooms Overview (1987) 5 Microsoft Research 5 of 22 OZCHI 2003: New Directions in Interaction Related Work 3D (Task Gallery) Zooming (Pad++) Time-Machine Computing Tiled (Elastic Windows) 6 Microsoft Research 6 of 22 OZCHI 2003: New Directions in Interaction GroupBar Design Points Familiar – build on Windows TaskBar Non-modal –
