Navigation menu (XAML) sample

This sample demonstrates how to provide a top-level navigation menu to users (a.k.a. a hamburger menu).

Specifically, this sample shows how to:

  • Utilize a SplitView control: The SplitView is a control with two content areas: the Pane and the Content. The Pane can be opened or closed. Using the DisplayMode property the app can switch the Pane to Overlay the Content or appear Inline. When the available space is constrained the Pane can be put into a CompactOverlay or CompactInline mode where it provides a visual hint to the user.
  • Customize a ListView to present menu items with a single-selection experience: This uses a ListView to present the default visuals for the menu items and customizes the keyboarding behavior to provide a single selection model where up/down/tab/shift+tab moves through each item and 'Enter' and 'Space' select the item.
  • Position the CommandBar based on the screen size: This sample moves the CommandBar to the bottom on screens less than seven inches diagonal.

Note The Windows universal samples require Visual Studio 2015 to build and Windows 10 to execute.

To obtain information about Windows 10 development, go to the Windows Dev Center
