.NET MAUI NavigationView Commands

The .NET MAUI NavigationView provides commands that allow you to initiate open or close actions for the pane and toggle its state.

The available commands are:

• OpenPaneCommand (ICommand)—Gets the command which opens the pane.
• ClosePaneCommand (ICommand)—Gets the command which closes the pane.
• TogglePaneCommand (ICommand)—Gets the command which opens and closes the pane.

Here is an example how to use the commands:

1. Bind the NavigationView commands to buttons command:

<HorizontalStackLayout Spacing="5">
    <Button Text="Open Pane" Command="{Binding OpenPaneCommand, Source={x:Reference navigationView}}"/>
    <Button Text="Close Pane" Command="{Binding ClosePaneCommand, Source={x:Reference navigationView}}"/>
    <Button Text="Toggle Pane" Command="{Binding TogglePaneCommand, Source={x:Reference navigationView}}"/>
</HorizontalStackLayout>

2. Define the NavigationView control:

3. Add the telerik namespaces:
