Example

The following code shows how to implement the UXNavigationPane control within UXResizablePane, and implement binding for the IsExpanded property for seamless state synchronization.

XAML Copy Code 
<Intersoft:UXResizablePane x:Name="MainPane" Header="{Binding SelectedItem.Header, ElementName=NavPane}"
                                   MinWidth="54" Width="250" Margin="4,4,0,4" CollapseAction="KeepContentVisible"
                                   ResizeDock="Right" HorizontalAlignment="Left" IsExpanded="False">
    <Intersoft:UXNavigationPane x:Name="NavPane" Header="Navigation Pane" IsExpanded="{Binding IsExpanded, ElementName=MainPane}">
        <Intersoft:UXNavigationPaneItem Header="Mail" 
            DisplayMode="ContentAndImage" Icon="/SLNavigationPane;component/images/Outlook/Mail.png">
            <Grid>
                <ContentPresenter Content="Mail" />
            </Grid>
        </Intersoft:UXNavigationPaneItem>
        <Intersoft:UXNavigationPaneItem Header="Calendar" DisplayMode="ContentAndImage" 
            Icon="/SLNavigationPane;component/images/Outlook/Calendar.png">
            <Grid>
                <ContentPresenter Content="Calendar" />
            </Grid>
        </Intersoft:UXNavigationPaneItem>
        <Intersoft:UXNavigationPaneItem Header="Contact" DisplayMode="ContentAndImage" 
            Icon="/SLNavigationPane;component/images/Outlook/Contact.png">
            <Grid>
                <ContentPresenter Content="Contact" />
            </Grid>
        </Intersoft:UXNavigationPaneItem>
    </Intersoft:UXNavigationPane>
</Intersoft:UXResizablePane>

Remarks

UXNavigationPane can be initially set to expanded or minimized state by customizing the IsExpanded property, which is set to true by default. As explained in the earlier section, the control automatically transforms the user interface elements according to the expanded or minimized state.

For the best user experiences, it is recommended to use UXNavigationPane together with a content control that supports built-in expand/collapse UI elements such as UXResizablePane. In such scenario, you can bind the IsExpanded property of the UXNavigationPane to the IsExpanded property of the UXResizablePane control. This allows both controls to synchronize the user interface state in realtime without requiring tightly coupling.
