Depending on the target device platform features (OS, Size, OS version) you may want to vary how the user interacts and, more specifically, how the user navigates your app. To achieve this, GeneXus provides the Navigation Style property that allows you to change this behavior at the platform level.
It is important to point out that you can only define one navigation style in our application for each possible combination of the above characteristics.
This property applies only at design-time.
Split navigation style
The information is divided into two sections on the screen. As shown in the picture below, there is a panel on the left (in this case, a list of speakers) and the main area is on the right. Note that the orientation is landscape. If the device were in portrait mode, the only area shown would be the main one, and the left one would be hidden until you made it visible by sliding to the right. In the case of running it on a Smartphone device, the Split value will be ignored and the default value will be assumed.
