Key Features:
Hierarchical Data Binding - You can bind RadPanelBar to various hierarchical structures specific to your application. Your RadPanelBar can be bound to a collection of Objects, XML, or you can use a WCF service to populate the control.
Keyboard Support - Use your keyboard to navigate, expand , collapse or select items in RadPanelBar. Additionally, all corresponding events will be fired when using the keys to manage the panelbar items.
Different Expand Modes - The ExpandMode can be either single or multiple, reflecting the allowed number of expanded items. When in single ExpandMode, all the panel items will collapse except the item that has just been expanded. Alternatively, the multiple ExpandMode allows more than one items to be expanded simultaneously.
Styling and Appearance - RadPanelBar can be fully customized using Microsoft Expression Blend. There are also several pre-defined themes that can be used to stylize the RadPanelBar control.
