WinUI3: How to keep view alive in NavigationView, like TabView

Question

Hi,

Is there any way to keep each tab alive when navigating between tabs in NavigationView? The behavior should like TabView since the view is not refreshed if I switch back to it.

Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

I suggest you could try to enable a page to be cached via setting NavigationCacheMode to either Enabled or Required.

Enabled: The page is cached, but the cached instance is discarded when the size of the cache for the frame is exceeded.

Required: The page is cached and the cached instance is reused for every visit regardless of the cache size for the frame.

You could set Required in the constructor for the page.

Thank you.
