BreadCrumb

A BreadCrumb displays the current page in the context of a navigation path. You can, for example, display a history of the pages last visited or the structure of the information provided. A BreadCrumb consists of individual links, or in its entirety represents one link.

You can insert two different types of BreadCrumb steps into one BreadCrumb.

BreadCrumbSteps are bound to individual context attributes. In this way, the number of displayed steps is defined during runtime. In comparison, a MultipleBreadcrumbStep is bound to a context node. This allows the number of displayed steps to be dynamically adjusted at runtime.

Example of the Visual Display

BreadCrumb

Note

To enable the development of accessible applications, the tooltip property is checked during the syntax check.

Note that the BreadCrumb.tooltip is displayed only on the symbols between the BreadCrumbSteps (for example, on the standard symbol >). Whereas the respective BreadCrumbStep.tooltip is displayed on the single BreadCrumbSteps.

Dynamic Programming of Properties

For dynamic programming, the same properties, events, and aggregations as in the View Designer are available. But note that the spelling format and use of upper/lower case is different.
