I see a lot of answers, about removing the backstack.
But How do I remove the forward stack?
Aka, Navigating A, to B, to C
A -> B -> C
I then navigate back from C, to B (Form saved, C closed NavigationService.GoBack();)
B <- C
I should now, NOT be able to navigate back to C using the forward button. But have no idea how to implement this. It makes most sense to remove it from the stack somehow.
I know this question was posted long ago, but recently I stumbled upon similar issue and this is how I solved it for my case. I hope it'll help someone.
Requirement
User should be able to go back to pages visited earlier but should not be able to go forward once back button is pressed.
My Approach
Create a custom control derived from Frame and add two addition DPs AllowForwardNavigation and AllowBackNavigation so that I can control if I want to allow prev/next navigation.
MyFrame.xaml.cs
public partial class MyFrame : Frame
{
#region Dependency Properties
public bool AllowForwardNavigation
{
get { return (bool)GetValue(AllowForwardNavigationProperty); }
set { SetValue(AllowForwardNavigationProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty AllowForwardNavigationProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register(nameof(AllowForwardNavigation), typeof(bool), typeof(MyFrame), new PropertyMetadata(true));
public bool AllowBackNavigation
{
get { return (bool)GetValue(AllowBackNavigationProperty); }
set { SetValue(AllowBackNavigationProperty, value); }
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty AllowBackNavigationProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register(nameof(AllowBackNavigation), typeof(bool), typeof(MyFrame), new PropertyMetadata(true));
#endregion
public MyFrame()
{
InitializeComponent();
JournalOwnership = JournalOwnership.OwnsJournal;
// find existing bindings
var existingBindings = CommandBindings.OfType<CommandBinding>()
.Where(x => x.Command == NavigationCommands.BrowseForward
|| x.Command == NavigationCommands.BrowseBack)
.ToArray();
// remove existing bindings
foreach (var binding in existingBindings)
CommandBindings.Remove(binding);
// add new binding
CommandBindings.Add(new CommandBinding(NavigationCommands.BrowseForward, OnGoForward, OnQueryGoForward));
CommandBindings.Add(new CommandBinding(NavigationCommands.BrowseBack, OnGoBack, OnQueryGoBack));
// override default navigation behavior
NavigationService.Navigating += NavigationService_Navigating;
}
private void NavigationService_Navigating(Object sender, NavigatingCancelEventArgs e)
{
switch (e.NavigationMode)
{
case NavigationMode.Forward:
e.Cancel = !AllowForwardNavigation;
break;
case NavigationMode.Back:
e.Cancel = !AllowBackNavigation;
break;
}
}
#region Command methods
private void OnGoForward(Object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
e.Handled = true;
if (AllowForwardNavigation && NavigationService.CanGoForward)
NavigationService.GoForward();
}
private void OnQueryGoForward(Object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
{
e.Handled = true;
e.CanExecute = AllowForwardNavigation && NavigationService.CanGoForward;
}
private void OnGoBack(Object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
{
e.Handled = true;
if (AllowBackNavigation && NavigationService.CanGoBack)
NavigationService.GoBack();
}
private void OnQueryGoBack(Object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
{
e.Handled = true;
e.CanExecute = AllowBackNavigation && NavigationService.CanGoBack;
}
