Navigation view control doesn't work

[jkommeren]

Would really like that one to work, I think its used a lot, especially since the Windows Template kit uses it now too.

I know this is because you've mentioned only porting part of the controls on Reddit , thought I'd mention it here too.

The alternative also doesn't work (hamburger view from UWP toolkit)

(I mean it doesn't compile)

Thanks for the report !

At this point, Uno targets the Creators Update UWP version (14393) and NavigationView was introduced in the Fall Creators update (16299) which we do not support yet.

For the time being, you can use Frame and some modes of the SplitView controls for navigation.

Is there ETA when Fall Creators update (16299) features will start to be supported?

Does it help that for Windows there is the WinUI library nuget package now that fills the gap for those older windows versions?

Unfortunately since the Microsoft.UI.Xaml library is closed-source (like the base framework) this doesn't help much, since we can't modify it to target Uno like we can for open-source UWP libraries.

Any recommendations for /any/ navigation to work (even add ons that work with Uno), since both HamburgerMenu and NavigationView don't?

Looks like WinUI is open source, here is its repo.

Yes, looks like WinUI has been open-sourced since I made that comment. It'll definitely be an aid to implementing the newer controls that're missing from Uno!
