JumpList

Family: Navigation & Workflow
Namespace: Tessera.Controls

Use JumpList when this interaction is the best match for your screen workflow.

When to use

  • You need a JumpList-style interaction inside the navigation & workflow lane.
  • A titled widget surface improves scanability in dense shells.
  • You want explicit user-driven events routed into app state updates.

Minimal usage

csharp.cs
using Tessera.Controls;
using Tessera.Layout;

var widget = new JumpList
{
    Title = "JumpList"
};

return Screen.Build(window => window.Body(body => body.Center(widget, width: 44, height: 9)));

Common pitfalls

  • Do not choose JumpList by name only; validate it against the target workflow.
  • Keep this control scoped to the navigation & workflow concern; avoid cross-layer state coupling.
  • Handle control events by posting/processing messages; avoid hidden mutation in render paths.
  • Set focused/normal styles intentionally so keyboard focus remains obvious.
  • Keep disabled state explicit and reversible so users understand why actions are blocked.
