Depending on the features of the target device platform (OS, Size, OS version) you may want to vary how the user interacts with 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.
Note that you can only define one navigation style in your application for each possible combination of the above characteristics.
This property applies only at design time.
The information on the screen is divided into two sections. 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. When running it on a Smartphone device, the Split value will be ignored and the default value will be assumed.
