Hi Erel--please could you provide some example code for changing properties of items in the Navigation Bar, specifically:
-the Page Title (eg colour, size, font)
-colours and positions of buttons set by code
-how to insert an image into a button set by code

More generally, the most effective way for doing these things.

Thanks

Page8.Initialize("Page8")
Page8.RootPanel.LoadLayout("Page8")
Dim b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6 As BarButton
b1.InitializeBitmap(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"brazil_iphone.png"),"1")
b2.InitializeText("French", "2")
b3.InitializeText("Spanish","3")
b4.InitializeText("German", "4")
b5.InitializeText("Portuguese", "5")
b6.InitializeText(">", "6")

Page8.TopLeftButtons = Array(b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6)

'Change colour of bar to Turquoise
Dim no As NativeObject = NavControl
no.GetField("navigationBar").RunMethod("setBarTintColor:", Array(no.ColorToUIColor(Colors.RGB(91,191,183))))

'Change text color of buttons to white
Dim no As NativeObject = NavControl
no.GetField("navigationBar").SetField("tintColor", no.ColorToUIColor(Colors.RGB(255,255,255)))

ScrollView1.Panel.LoadLayout("Page7")
NavControl.NavigationBarVisible = True
ScrollView1.ContentWidth = LayoutValues.Width
NavControl.ShowPage(Page8)

It makes no difference. I have never been able to load an image via the designer and see it in a navbar button in the designer or in the compiled program unlike other buttons which work fine. You just see a colored box which you can change the color of but you do not see the image. What I want to do is present a sequence of flags in the bar which when people click on changes the language of the text. I can do it by not using the navbar but I would really prefer to use the navigation bar. I assume that the type of image file does not matter. I have been using .png which I use in normal buttons.

I will do but if you create an image button in the navigation bar or the toolbar via the designer do you see the image on your device via Bridge? I just see a blank box.

This project shows the bitmaps!
B4X:
Private Sub Application_Start (Nav As NavigationController)
    NavControl = Nav
    Page1.Initialize("Page1")
    Page1.Title = "Page 1"
    Page1.RootPanel.Color = Colors.White
    Dim btn As BarButton
    btn.InitializeBitmap(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "btnCH0.png"), "CH")
    Dim btlList1 As List
    btlList1.Initialize
    btlList1.Add(btn)
    Page1.TopLeftButtons = btlList1

    Dim btn As BarButton
    btn.InitializeBitmap(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "btnCH0.png"), "CH")
    Dim btlList2 As List
    btlList2.Initialize
    btlList2.Add(btn)
    Page1.TopRightButtons = btlList2
  
    Dim btn As BarButton
    btn.InitializeBitmap(LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "btnCH0.png"), "CH")
    Dim btlList3 As List
    btlList3.Initialize
    btlList3.Add(btn)
    Page1.ToolbarButtons = btlList3
  
    NavControl.ShowPage(Page1)
    NavControl.ToolBarVisible = True
End Sub
On what device do you use it.
Your texts seem to be long.
