SideBar consists of a title, an internal Panel, a stack of buttons and a footer. The buttons overflow onto the footer. The footer also contains a menu. The menu is used to configure the SideBar and select the buttons which do not fit on the footer. When a button is clicked the SideBar title text changes to the text on the button and the button's corresponding internal Panel is displayed. Each button can be associated with an external control. If this is the case then the external control is also made visible. SideBar can be collapsed to show a summary version. The SideBar control is useful for top level application navigation. SideBar is similar to the navigation pane found in Microsoft Outlook.
