How to remove history/navigation from a WPF Frame

Question

Hello,


i have a WPF Window, and on pressing Button A i want to display some content in a certain area of my window.
when pressing "Button B" the content shall disappear and other content shall appear on that place instead.

i tried to use the Frame control for that:
i defined 2 WPF Pages (one for content of Button A and one for content of Button B), and on pressing the button the frame.Content was set to the desired page.
But unfortunately as soon as i reset the content to something else i get the navigation bar.
is there a way how i can remove that navigation pane?  i only want the contents of the page visible and no navigation.

Answer 1

Hi,
You should set the ShowsNavigationUI=false in the Page.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the reply!

I had to do some more though:
after setting above property as well as

frame.NavigationUIVisibility = NavigationUIVisibility.Hidden;

the pane was hidden.

case solved!  ;)

Answer 3

thanks!  I've been banging my head against a brick wall for a week trying to work out why ShowsNavigationUI wasn't doing anything.. the NavigationUIVisibility option appears to be barely documented.

IMO this stuff should be off by default - 99% of the time people are not writing browsers.

 

Answer 4

I agree that this stuff should be off by default, accept that then no one would know that it's there. What I want to know is how do I turn off the Frame's journal keeping functionality. Navigation journal keeping takes up resources that I don't need in my application. I used to be able to disable this within the XAML.

Thanks.

Answer 5

If you don't need the journal keeping then you pretty much may as well just use a contentcontrol instead of a frame.

Set the content to an instance of your page/usercontrol.

Answer 6

Use this Code in Page Load Event to Remove Back Entries and to show only current page

this.NavigationService.RemoveBackEntry();

Answer 7

i used the Navigated event:

        void frframe_Navigated(object sender, System.Windows.Navigation.NavigationEventArgs e)
        {
            frframe.NavigationService.RemoveBackEntry();
        }

works great thanks. My memory leak is gone! -.-''
