NavigateStateCommand Class

The NavigateStateCommand extends the base RoutedCommandBase class to define a bind-able command that will alolow the navigation to a new visual state.

Syntax

public class NavigateStateCommand : RoutedCommandBase

Remarks

Visual States are defined in XAML and allow you to control the visual requirements of your applcaiiton. For example you may want to display a look list and requrie the backgound input form to be disabled. Using a visual state you can define which controls are enabled or visible and which are not. Visual states work on a "stack" basis meaning as you navigate to a visual state you will pop the current visual state onto the visual stack. Exiting from a visual state pops off the current visual state off the visual stack and return the User Interface to the previous visual state. Use the Symphony.Conductor.Commands.QuitStateCommand to pop a visual state from the visual state stack. When navigating visual states there are a number of events that occur. Please see the Symphony.Conductor.Framework.UIStateStack class for more details.

Example

C#
XAML

private NavigateStateCommand mNavigateVisualState;

public NavigateStateCommand NavigateVisualState
{
    get
    {
        return mNavigateVisualState == null ? mNavigateVisualState = new NavigateStateCommand(this) : mNavigateVisualState;
    }
}
private QuitStateCommand mQuitVisualState;

public QuitStateCommand QuitVisualState
{
    get
    {
        return mQuitVisualState == null ? mQuitVisualState = new QuitStateCommand(this) : mQuitVisualState;
    }
}
