Navigation System Basics
导航系统基础
An XAF application's UI basically consists of Views. Views are abstract entities used for data representation.
There are two basic kinds of Views - the Detail Views used to represent a single object and its properties,and the List Views, used to represent object collections.
A typical XAF application can comprise many Views that serve the purpose of viewing and editing objects of different types.
Obviously, users of the application must be able to switch from one View to another as required.
This functionality is provided by the navigation system.
The navigation system is represented in a UI by the navigation control, which lists all available Views and provides means to activate the required View.
XAF应用程序UI基本上由视图组成.视图是用于数据表式的抽象实体。
这里有两种类型的视图:详细视图用于表示单条对象和它的属性.列表视图用于表示对象集合.
典型的xaf应用程序能包含很多视图，这些不同的视图型来显示和编辑对象。
显然，应用程序的用户必须能够从一个视图切换到另一个视图。
这个功能由导航系统提供。
导航系统通过导航控件展示用户界面，该控件列出所有可用的视图，并提供激活所需视图的方法。
The main parts of the navigation system are the navigation Action, navigation Action Containers, ShowNavigationItemController and the navigation structure.
导航系统主要包含几部分：导航按钮，导航按钮容器，ShowNavigationItemController和导航结构.
-
The navigation Action, navigation Action Containers and ShowNavigationItemController. Each built-in XAF Template that represents the main Window contains the navigation Action Container. This Action Container is used to host the Navigation Action, represented in a UI by the navigation control.
导航按钮，导航按钮容器，ShowNavigationItemController.每个内置的XAF主窗口模板容器都包含导航按钮容器。这个按钮容器承载导航按钮，用户界面通过导航控件展现。
-
The navigation Action Container is populated with the navigation Action by the ShowNavigationItemController. This Controller reads the navigation structure and the navigation control style settings from the Application Model, and customizes the navigation control accordingly. This Controller also synchronizes the currently selected item in the navigation control with the currently active View. So, even if the View is changed programmatically, the navigation control still highlights the correct View.
ShowNavigationItemController将导航按钮显示在导航按钮容器中。这个控制器从ApplicationModel中读取导航结构和导航控件样式设置，并且自定义导航控件.这个控制器也会同步当前导航控件选中的项目和当前激活的视图。所以，当以编程方式改变视图时，导航控件依然保持正确的突出显示选中的视图。
-
The navigation structure defines the visual interrelations between different Views. This tree-like structure is defined by the Application Model's IModelRootNavigationItems node. The node consists of the IModelNavigationItem nodes. Each of these nodes, in turn, can also have any number of NavigationItem child nodes. The navigation control's items are arranged according to the navigation structure. Note that in Mobile applications, the tree-like navigation structure is not supported; only the Default root group's nodes are displayed.
导航结构定义了视图的相互关系。这颗树由应用程序模型IModelRootNavigationItems结点定义.此结点由IModelNavigationItem结点组成.调整这里的每个结点也可以有任意个子级NavigationItem结点.导航控件的项目根据导航结构排列.注意，在Mobile应用程序中，不支持树形导航结构；只有默认的根级别组结点被显示。
- If a NavigationItem node has the IModelNavigationItem.View property set, then the corresponding item in the navigation control represents a View. Selecting such an item activates the View. If the View property is not set, then the corresponding item in the navigation control acts as a "group", whose sole purpose is to contain other items.
- 如果View属性被设置，那么导航控件中代表一个视图.选中项目时将打开一个视图.如果没设置,则导航控件中它做为一个“分组”，将做为其他项目的容器。
Define the Navigation Structure
Define导航结构
The navigation structure can be defined and customized at design-time and in code.
导航结构可以在设计时间和代码中定义和自定义。
- Design-time customization of the navigation structure is performed using the Model Editor. Invoke the Model Editor, navigate to the NavigationItem node and customize it as required. This approach is detailed in the Add an Item to the Navigation Control tutorial.
使用模型编辑器执行导航结构的设计时自定义。调用模型编辑器，导航到导航项节点，并根据需要对其进行自定义。此方法在"向导航控制添加项"教程中详细说明。
2.In code, the navigation structure can be defined and customized in two ways.
在代码中，可以通过两种方式定义和自定义导航结构。
By applying the NavigationItemAttribute or DefaultClassOptionsAttribute to the required business classes. The NavigationItem attribute adds a navigation item to the navigation control. The most frequently used constructor takes a single string parameter that specifies a first-level child node of the NavigationItems node. A NavigationItem node corresponding to the business class' List View will be added to the specified node. Applying the DefaultClassOptions attribute is essentially the same as applying the NavigationItemAttribute, plus certain additional attributes. You can learn more about it in the DefaultClassOptionsAttribute class description.
通过将导航项属性或默认类选项属性应用于所需的业务类。导航项属性将导航项添加到导航控件。最常用的构造函数采用单个字符串参数，该参数指定导航项节点的第一级子节点。对应于业务类列表视图的 NavigationItem 节点将添加到指定的节点。应用 DefaultClassOptions 属性实质上与应用导航属性以及某些附加属性相同。您可以在默认类选项属性类描述中了解有关它的详细信息。
The second approach is to directly customize the Application Model's NavigationItems node, for instance in a custom Controller. This approach is described in the Access the Application Model in Code topic.
第二种方法是直接自定义应用程序模型的导航项节点，例如在自定义控制器中。此方法在"代码中的访问应用程序模型"主题中进行了介绍。
NOTE
In the Navigation Bar and Accordion style, a group cannot be used to navigate to a View, even if the View property is specified. The groups only serve as containers for other navigation items.
注意
在导航栏和手风琴样式中，即使指定了 View 属性，组也不能用于导航到视图。这些组仅用作其他导航项的容器。

Context Navigation
上下文导航
The navigation system supports context navigation. A module can track the process of generating the navigation items in the navigation control. The module can add additional child navigation items to a created navigation item that matches a specific criteria. Three built-in modules implement context navigation - the Pivot Chart, Reports V2 and View Variants modules.
导航系统支持上下文导航。模块可以跟踪在导航控件中生成导航项的过程。该模块可以将其他子导航项添加到与特定条件匹配的已创建的导航项。三个内置模块实现上下文导航 - 数据透视图、报告 V2 和视图变体模块。
By default, context navigation is disabled for these modules. It can be enabled using the following properties of the NavigationItems node.
- IModelPivotChartNavigation.GenerateRelatedAnalysisGroup
- IModelNavigationItemsForReports.GenerateRelatedReportsGroup
- IModelNavigationItemsVariantSettings.GenerateRelatedViewVariantsGroup
默认情况下，这些模块的上下文导航被禁用。可以使用导航项节点的以下属性启用它。
- ImodelPivotChart导航.生成相关分析组
- Imodel 导航项目for报告.生成相关报告组
- Imodel 导航项变体设置.生成相关视图变体组
Captions of these context navigation groups can be customized using the following properties of the NavigationItems node.
- IModelPivotChartNavigation.RelatedAnalysisGroupCaption
- IModelNavigationItemsForReports.RelatedReportsGroupCaption
