ADF Mobile amx:panelSplitter - disclose behaviour

Question

Hi Guys,
JDEV 11.1.2.3 - Hoping that someone may be able to elaborate on the design of the HR Sample application which makes good use of the amx:panelSplitter. Basically, there is an 'Add Employee' link and also a 'Search' link. Clicking on the search link does not cause the disclosure behaviour of the navigation component to hide. Clicking on the 'Add' link does.
I can't figure out how this has been achieved. Is it implicit? This was built completely declaritively by the looks, and I can't see how this is being controlled. I effectively want to replicate the search behaviour but as the link is clicked the whole page is reset to the starting position (with the navigator hidden).
This is not a problem on larger devices as the standard here is to have the navigator always shown.
Help appreciated.
Cheers,
Simo

It's pretty easy.
They use 1 panelSplitter and multiple panelItem.
The panelSplitter has an attribute 'selecedItem' which tells it which panelItem it should render.
In the example you see '#{pageFlowScope.panellist}' which refers to an pageFlowScoped variable.
If you want to change the current displayed panelItem, just change the pageFlowScoped variable.
In the HR example, that happens when they click a link or button by using this:
<amx:setPropertyListener from="nolist" to="#{pageFlowScope.panellist}"/>
The 'from' value is then the ID of the panelItem.
