Breadcrumb

Version: 9.0

A Breadcrumb control shows a “breadcrumb trail” of links to the parent pages of a current page. Each page in the hierarchy is shown as a link to the page, separated by “>” characters. The Breadcrumb control shows the top page link in the hierarchy as an icon, and it shows all other page links as text links, where the text is the name of the page.

You create the hierarchy by setting up a hierarchy of Breadcrumb items. You create a Breadcrumb item using the Breadcrumb template, and you set the Page field of each Breadcrumb item to the ID of the page that you want at that level of the hierarchy.

You add the Breadcrumb control to all pages that are part of the hierarchy. You set the RootItemId of the Breadcrumb control in all of the pages to the same value: the ID of the page that is at the top of the hierarchy.

The Breadcrumb control shows the list of links (the “breadcrumb trail”) down to and including the current page, always starting from the page at the top of the hierarchy.
