Navigators

Show or hide previous and next button

In navigators, the previous and next slide transition buttons are used to perform slide transitions manually. You can show/hide the navigators using the buttonsVisibility property. The possible property values are as follows:

Hidden – the navigator’s buttons are not visible.
Visible – the navigator’s buttons are visible.
VisibleOnHover – the navigator’s buttons are visible only when hovering over the carousel.

The following example depicts the code to show/hide the navigators in the carousel.
