Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the navigation direction should be automatically detected. When set to true, this property works with page transition and transition effect to automatically determines which transition to be applied based on the navigation direction.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As UXTabControl Dim value As Boolean instance.AutoDetectNavigationDirection = value value = instance.AutoDetectNavigationDirection

C#
[CategoryAttribute("Common Properties")] public bool AutoDetectNavigationDirection {get; set;}

Delphi

JScript

Managed Extensions for C++
[CategoryAttribute("Common Properties")] public: __property bool get_AutoDetectNavigationDirection(); public: __property void set_AutoDetectNavigationDirection( bool value );

C++/CLI

Remarks

UXTabControl provides an advanced mechanism to automatically detect the direction of the current navigation process. Called AutoDetectNavigationDirection, this feature automatically determines the navigation direction of the target selection relative to the current active selection.

The following example shows how to enable automatic navigation direction feature.

XAML	Copy Code
<Intersoft:UXTabControl Name="TabControl1" EnablePageTransition="True" AutoDetectNavigationDirection="True"> </Intersoft:UXTabControl>

When the page transition and navigation direction detection is enabled, UXTabControl automatically applies the visual transition based on the navigation direction. You can set the visual transition to be applied differently for each navigation direction. The following table lists the basic properties related to visual transitions and its default values.

Property	Default Value	Description
BackTransitionEffect	SlideLeft	This transition will be applied when the index of the target tab item is before the current active selection.
ForwardTransitionEffect	SlideRight	This transition will be applied when the index of the target tab item is after the current active selection.
DefaultTransitionEffect	Fading	This transition will be applied when the navigation direction cannot be determined, such as during the first load.

You can choose one of the TransitionEffect to apply to your visual transition properties:

Fading
SlideUp
SlideDown
SlideLeft
SlideRight
ZoomIn
ZoomOut
FlipLeft
FlipRight
FlipUp
FlipDown
Cube
Direct
Custom

The following example shows how to customize the visual transitions for back, forward and new navigation mode.
