Navigation menu (XAML) sample

Shows how to provide a top-level navigation menu to users (also known as a hamburger menu).

Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. If you are unfamiliar with Git and GitHub, you can download the entire collection as a ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.

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.
  • Adapt UI to the ten-foot experience: This sample uses a style sheet and a state trigger to adapt the UI when running on a TV.

Note The Windows universal samples require Visual Studio 2017 to build and Windows 10 to execute.
