Public Overridable Property ShowExpandButton As Boolean

|---|---|---|
| Boolean | true |
true if the expand button is visible; otherwise, false.

You can access this nested property as listed below:
| Object Type | Path to ShowExpandButton |
|---|---|
| NavBarControl |
.OptionsNavPane .ShowExpandButton
|
When the NavigationPane paint style is applied, the NavBarControl displays the expand button by default, which allows an end-user to minimize and then restore the control.
Use the ShowExpandButton property to control the expand button’s visibility. If the button is hidden, the NavBarControl can still be minimized and restored programmatically, via the OptionsNavPane.NavPaneState property.
The expand button’s arrow indicates the direction in which the control is expanded/collapsed. If the NavBarControl is docked to the form’s or panel’s right edge, you may want to invert the direction of the expand button’s arrow. To do this, use the OptionsNavPane.ExpandButtonMode property.
