Interface ICompositeView
A composite view at the application boundary: a view made of child views that the business layer can coordinate without knowing the Unity implementation. In particular it exposes the "switcher" behaviour a navigation rail relies on — activating one child and hiding its siblings.
Namespace: Serenity.Ui.Application.Interfaces.Views
Assembly: Serenity.Ui.Application.dll
Syntax
public interface ICompositeView : IViewBase, IFoundationSettingsProperties
ContentMode
How this composite presents its children: all together (STACK) or only the active one (SWITCHER). Lets navigation code treat detail-open/close (a switcher concern) differently from always-visible stacked regions.
