HilitedItem of a navbar

[Ralph DiMola]

I have changed my version to leave the selected it default to 1. This will not change the original behavior but allow you to set it to 0 by script or in the PI. Of course one can set it to zero in a preopencard handler so it initially displays with no item selected.
I added a property call iconFill that is defaulted to off so the widget will still retain the original behavior. If this property is set to true by script or ticked in the PI then the icon will fill the height of the widget if the label is set to empty. So...

1) The hiliteditem can be set to zero so no item is highlighted
2) The default hiliteditem has not been changed.
3) The PI allows you to decrement the select item index to zero.
4) If the label of an item is empty and the iconFill property is set to true then the icon is centered vertically and fills the height the same as when "icon only" is selected.

New version is available for evaluation at:

The PR is now merged into develop and will be in the next DP.  It only adds the option of selecting nothing but does not make it the default.  We could now work up a PR for the other piece, but I’m not sure about how that one works without downloading and testing (sounds like an option to hide the label on some of the items and shift the icon down).

Thanks,
Brian
