NavigationView is a control in Lepoco WPFUI that provides a hierarchical navigation experience. However, modifying its content can be a bit tricky. In this article, we will explore how to change the content of a NavigationView in Lepoco WPFUI.
Understanding the NavigationView Structure
A NavigationView consists of a NavigationMenu and a Frame that hosts the navigation content. The NavigationMenu is a hierarchical collection of MenuItems, and the Frame contains the content that is displayed when a MenuItem is selected.
Accessing the NavigationView’s Content
To change the content of a NavigationView, you need to access the Frame’s Content property. You can do this using the following code:
NavigationView navigationView = ...;
Frame frame = navigationView.Content as Frame;
Changing the Content of a NavigationView
Once you have access to the Frame’s Content property, you can modify it to display new content. Here are a few examples:
Example 1: Displaying a New Page
You can create a new Page instance and set it as the Content of the Frame:
frame.Content = new MyNewPage();
Example 2: Displaying a UserControl
You can create a new UserControl instance and set it as the Content of the Frame:
frame.Content = new MyUserControl();
Example 3: Displaying a String
You can create a new TextBlock instance and set its Text property to the desired string, then set it as the Content of the Frame:
TextBlock textBlock = new TextBlock { Text = "New Content" };
frame.Content = textBlock;
Conclusion
In this article, we have demonstrated how to change the content of a NavigationView in Lepoco WPFUI. By accessing the Frame’s Content property, you can modify the content displayed in the NavigationView to suit your application’s needs.
