JournalEntryUnifiedViewConverter Class

Definition

JournalEntryUnifiedViewConverter merges navigation back history and navigation forward history (as exposed by Frame or NavigationWindow) into a single navigation menu.

Examples

The following example shows how to construct a text-based navigation history menu. The menu uses JournalEntryUnifiedViewConverter to combine both the back and forward navigation histories of the hosted Frame navigator.

<Window

    xmlns:presentationFramework="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Navigation;assembly=presentationframework"

    <Window.Resources>

        <presentationFramework:JournalEntryUnifiedViewConverter x:Key="JournalEntryUnifiedViewConverter" />

        <!--MenuItem data template-->
        <DataTemplate x:Key="JournalEntryMenuItemTemplate">
            <MenuItem VerticalContentAlignment="Center" Command="NavigationCommands.NavigateJournal" CommandTarget="{Binding ElementName=frame}" CommandParameter="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}">
                <MenuItem.Template>
                    <ControlTemplate>
                        <TextBlock>
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding (JournalEntryUnifiedViewConverter.JournalEntryPosition)}" FontWeight="Bold"></TextBlock>
                            <LineBreak />
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" />
                        </TextBlock>
                    </ControlTemplate>
                </MenuItem.Template>
            </MenuItem>
        </DataTemplate>

    </Window.Resources>

    <DockPanel>

        <!--Unified navigation history menu-->
        <Menu DockPanel.Dock="Top">
            <MenuItem Header="Unified Navigation History" ItemTemplate="{DynamicResource JournalEntryMenuItemTemplate}">
                <MenuItem.ItemsSource>
                    <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource JournalEntryUnifiedViewConverter}">
                        <MultiBinding.Bindings>
                            <Binding ElementName="frame" Path="BackStack"/>
                            <Binding ElementName="frame" Path="ForwardStack" />
                        </MultiBinding.Bindings>
                    </MultiBinding>
                </MenuItem.ItemsSource>
            </MenuItem>
        </Menu>

        <!--Navigator (Frame with its navigation chrome hidden-->
        <Frame Name="frame" NavigationUIVisibility="Hidden" Source="HomePage.xaml" />

    </DockPanel>
    
</Window>

Remarks

Both Frame and NavigationWindow display navigation chrome that supports history navigation using the following mechanisms:

  • A button for navigating back one piece of content at a time.

  • A button for navigating forward one piece of content at a time.

  • A drop-down list that shows:

    • A combined list of up to nine items in back navigation history and up to nine items in forward navigation history.
    • The position of the current piece of content with respect to both back and forward navigation history.

The navigation history is stored by both NavigationWindow and Frame in the following properties:

Back Navigation History: Frame.BackStack, NavigationWindow.BackStack.

Forward Navigation History: Frame.ForwardStack, NavigationWindow.ForwardStack.

To create the drop-down list, NavigationWindow and Frame use JournalEntryUnifiedViewConverter to merge their individual back navigation history and forward navigation history into a single list of navigation history entries. The resulting list contains up to nine entries from back navigation history and up to nine entries from forward navigation history, plus an entry for the current content.

If you create custom navigation UI and need to provide a drop-down list, you can use JournalEntryUnifiedViewConverter to similar effect.
