The following sections offer guidelines for choosing the appropriate type of navigation model, depending on the use case.
StackView Control#
StackView provides a stack-based navigation model which can be used with a set of interlinked pages. StackView works according to a last-in first-out principle: the page pushed last on the stack is the one visible. Popping a page removes the last page and makes the previous one visible.
SwipeView Control#
SwipeView provides a navigation model that simplifies horizontal paged scrolling. The page indicator on the bottom shows which is the presently active page.
TabBar Control#
TabBar is a bar with icons or text that allows the user to switch between different subtasks, views, or modes.
TabButton Control#
TabButton is a button with a layout suitable for a TabBar control.
