Examples

The following example shows how to use XAML to hide the navigation UI of a NavigationWindow.

<Page
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="HomePage"
    ShowsNavigationUI="False"
    >

</Page>

<Page 
    x:Class="CSharp.HomePage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="HomePage"
    >

</Page>

using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;

namespace CSharp
{
    public partial class HomePage : Page
    {
        public HomePage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            // Hide host's navigation UI
            this.ShowsNavigationUI = false;
        }
    }
}

Imports System.Windows
Imports System.Windows.Controls

Namespace VisualBasic
    Partial Public Class HomePage
        Inherits Page
        Public Sub New()
            InitializeComponent()

            ' Hide host's navigation UI
            Me.ShowsNavigationUI = False
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace

Remarks

NavigationWindow displays navigation UI by default to enable browser-style forwards and backwards navigation. If a page is set as the StartupUri, Application automatically opens a NavigationWindow to host the page in. If the page does not want to use the default NavigationWindow navigation UI, it can set ShowsNavigationUI to false.

Note

Because WPF does not integrate with the navigation UI for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, it provides its own navigation UI, which can be shown or hidden by setting ShowsNavigationUI. WPF does integrate with the Windows Internet Explorer 7 navigation UI, so setting ShowsNavigationUI on pages in Windows Internet Explorer 7 has no effect.
