### Description

Gets or sets the the name of the [sidebar](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/sidebar/llms-full.txt) that is connected to the RibbonReportingTab's [TXITEM\_FieldNavigation](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/ribbonreportingtab/ribbonitem-enumeration/llms-full.txt) button.

### Syntax

```csharp
public string FieldNavigatorSidebar { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property FieldNavigatorSidebar As String
```

### Examples

The following example uses `RibbonReportingTab.FieldNavigatorSidebar` to configure field navigator sidebar as part of the ribbon reporting tab workflow. The configured value is checked before the workflow continues.

```csharp
ribbonReportingTab.FieldNavigatorSidebar = "Quarterly report";
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(ribbonReportingTab.FieldNavigatorSidebar))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Field Navigator Sidebar: {ribbonReportingTab.FieldNavigatorSidebar}");
}
```

```vbnet
ribbonReportingTab.FieldNavigatorSidebar = "Quarterly report"
If Not String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(ribbonReportingTab.FieldNavigatorSidebar) Then
    Console.WriteLine($"Field Navigator Sidebar: {ribbonReportingTab.FieldNavigatorSidebar}")
End If
```

### Remarks

Checking the `TXITEM_FieldNavigation` button displays the connected sidebar with the [SidebarContentLayout.FieldNavigator](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/sidebar/sidebarcontentlayout-enumeration/llms-full.txt) layout. If no sidebar is set, the button is hidden.
