I am trying to setup a chrome control in a SharePoint App. I have followed https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp179916.aspx

I seek your help to understand two concepts here.

1) I am declaring my chrome control using declarative approach. How do I pass the HostUrl Token to my help page or other pages that are defined in the navigation links. The referred article contains a video on MSDN hardcodes the siteUrl property in declarative approach.

2) In case i have an aspx page how should i defined my own chrome control, suppose that my aspx is the start page for my application. And now i want to link to HTML  pages such as my Help.html etc

Thanks,

Hi Saurabh,

According to your description, my understanding is that you want use chrome control in a SharePoint App, we can use the following code to set navigation links.

var options = {
    "appIconUrl": "../Images/AppIcon.png",
    "appTitle": "Basic chrome control in apps for SharePoint 2013",
    "appHelpPageUrl": "Page3.html?" + document.URL.split("?")[1],
    "settingsLinks": [
        {
            "linkUrl": "Page1.html?" + document.URL.split("?")[1],
            "displayName": "Page 1"
        },
        {
            "linkUrl": "Page2.html?" + document.URL.split("?")[1],
            "displayName": "Page 2"
        }
    ]
};
var nav = new SP.UI.Controls.Navigation("chrome_ctrl_placeholder", options);
nav.setVisible(true);
