I'm looking for this to use in an asp page. I've googled my hands raw but it doesn't help that I don't even know what this bar is called. Help pls!

Is that a navigation bar for a datagrid? If so, then no, nothing comes quite close.

DevExpress and Infragistics would probably be able to do that or have even nicer controls.

They cost a little bit, but it's worth it - especially for grid functionality.

Just to add to this, you can see all the DevExpress control demos at:
https://demos.devexpress.com/ASP/

They have a full ribbon control:

And you can see the toolbar on their HTML Editor - I'm sure this will be available by itself as well:

Got it. I wish we had something like this in asp.net to be honest. I'd use it all the time.

Tell me about it!

I'm going to add Accordions to this web form. Never used them but they looks awesome.

Ever heard of wake n bake? lol

That bar is fugly, why not just do one yourself.Shouldn't take more than 10 mins.

:D

I'm in a lazy mood to make stuff from scratch. You can customize Accordion though.

TBH I have never understood why you need a navigation like that. Why would anyone scroll through rows one at a time? This comes from the Access days. :sick:

Rather give the user a list and realtime find the record as he types. Like a google experience.

I wouldn't do one at a time... That would be for pages, not records.

But still. Who scrolls thru pages & pages of data? Except maybe sequential data like this thread. But not rows in a DB. Give the user an interactive Search function and filters that make sense for that type of data. If you build your search well, then the user will find the row he wants within 2 to 4 keystrokes.
Most devs forget that over the life of an app the list will grow to 100K/millions of rows. You are NOT going to use the paging. Trust me.

When developing, you use a few lines or at most a 100 then the paging work ok (still terrible UX though). But in the wild it is a different story.

My advice: don't use it. Do it properly
