I like your answer better than mine. It is a lot cleaner.

Thanks again,

Jimmy;

I belive I solved it with this code:

UXNavBtn.CommandParameter = new WindowOptions()

{

Uri =

new WindowOptions()

{

Uri = new Uri("/ClientUIBusinessApp1;ClientUIBusinessApp1.Views.Reports.TReportWindow", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute), ForceSingleInstance = false, ReactivateExistingInstance = false,

WindowHeight = 550,

WindowWidth = 900

};

Thank you for your help.

Oh okay, I initially thought you're navigating to a standard UXPage. It's obvious now that you're launching a new window using navigation button, and not navigating to a page.

Based on your description, I also presume that you bind the CommandParameter to a WindowOptions object in the XAML (similar to DesktopDock sample in our Control Samples).

If that is true, then you can cast the CommandParameter to WindowOptions type in your code, then simply set the Uri to a new destination. This will keep your WindowWidth and WindowHeight remaining the same as specified in the XAML.

Here's an example of how you can do the casting and set the Uri.

// cast the command parameter to WindowOptions
WindowOptions options = UXNavBtn.CommandParameter as WindowOptions;
// modify only the Uri of the window options
options.Uri = new Uri(""/ClientUIBusinessApp1;ClientUIBusinessApp1.Views.Reports.TReportWindow", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute");

Let me know if that works for you.

How do I add the window height and width to this?

UXNavBtn.CommandParameter = new Uri("/ClientUIBusinessApp1;ClientUIBusinessApp1.Views.Reports.TReportWindow", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);

This is a good solution, but it does remove the WindowHeight and WindowWidth which were declaritively set. Does this approach overwrite all of the declared setting? If so what is the syntax to reset the WindowHeight and WindowWidth in behind code? I tried a few things which have not worked, and will continue to try while a wait for the answer.

Thanks,

Al,

To set the navigate Uri of a navigation button, you can simply set the NavigateUri in the code behind. Since you're using CommandParameter, I presume you're using MVVM pattern and commanding to perform navigation.

You can try one of the following code to change the navigation uri in code behind:

uxNavButton1.NavigateUri = new Uri("/Home", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
// or
uxNavButton1.CommandParameter = new Uri("/Home", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute

Let me know if that works for you.

Hi Alfred,

I have attach a sample of your wanted scenario.

Set the UXPage1.xaml as the start page on your App.xaml. Look into the UXPage1ViewModel where I set the binding.

Hope this can solve your scenario.

Have a nice day.

Best regards,

Thanks for your answer. It is the syntax on the right side of the equation that is giving me trouble.

Hi Alfred,

Please use the following syntax inside the UXNavigationButton1_Click event handler.

uXNavigationButton1.CommandParameter = obj ;

Hopw this solve your issue.
