Hello everyone,

I am newbie to this WPF learning out things slowly.

I am stuck with one stuff, my situation is like i have multiple pages i.e page1.xaml,page2.xaml....etc, i have to display these pages in Window1.xaml(wpf window).

This window1.xaml contains a grid (suggest if using other panel is better) which is divided into number of blocks(rows and columns.

The outer blocks of which will be filled with standard template (say some images or with some controls)and one block is assigned to display pages.

Can be assumed similar to codeproject website where the standard codeproject template will be on top irrespective of pages we navigate to.

How can i achieve this displaying of multiple pages in a single window in wpf. Also please help me how to navigate to pages using forward and backward navigation like how we use in browser.

If i use navigationwindow i am not able to use any controls like grid, stackpanle,button.

Thank you

Solution 1

Have a look at the Frame Class[^] - You'll find information about navigation at the bottom of the page.

Here is a nice example:

Hi.
Navigation can one way be achieved using Galasofts MVVM Framework Messenger. Download package and reference appropriate dll for WPF.

Add add a Frame control in your location within the grid, say FramePages where you want to load pages. You can set default source by specifying page url in the xaml.

eg

In your window1.xaml constructor, register Galasoft's Default messanger as

window1(){
Messenger.Default.Register<uri>(this, "Window1Navigator", (uri) => this.FramePages.Navigate(uri));
}

Call from anywhere in the code including in ViewModels Messenger.Default.Send<uri>(UriCreateFromPagePath, "Window1Navigator");

Or withing the pages say NavigationService.Navigate(UriCreateFromPagePath).

I hope this helps. I am open to correction.
