Remarks

There are 11 definitions of NavigatorControl in Ted4_TabItems.xml and Fred4_TabItems.xml, and all have the same name "Navigator".

Structure

The <l:NavigatorControl section has two possible structures.

1/ Structure with calls to stand-alone navigators

Such structure is very simple, as it contains just a single line with the list of navigators, that are defined elsewhere, through statements such as <l:NavigatorTabItem x:Name="TaskShellNavTab" Header="Tasks" etc.

<l:ShellTabItem x:Name="PlanningMainTab" Header="Planning" MenuConfigName="PlanningMainTab"

...

<l:NavigatorControl Name="Navigator" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Style="{StaticResource NavigatorControlStyle}"

  NavigatorTabItemNames="TaskShellNavTab,BudgetShellNavTab,EventShellNavTab"/>

</Expander>

It is easy to manage, for example, to add a new navigator call, or to reorder navigators.

Sections, structured in this way can be found under following main tabs: PlanningMainTab, CollectionsMainTab, ShellMainTab in Ted4_TabItems.xml, and ShellMainTab  in Fred4_TabItems.xml.

2/ Structure with full navigator definition

Such structure is more complicated, as it contains a full definition of all navigators.

Sections, structured in this way, can be found under following main tabs: Ted4Articles, Ted4PubDests, ContactsMainTab, ContentMainTab in Ted4_TabItems.xml, and in Fred4Pages, Fred4Editions, Fred4TracyLayouts in Fred4_TabItems.xml.
