When JournalOwnership is Automatic, the following behavior applies:

• The hosted Frame behaves as though UsesParentJournal was set if it is hosted by either a Frame or a NavigationWindow.

• The hosted Frame behaves as though OwnsJournal was set if:

  • It is not directly hosted by either a Frame or NavigationWindow.

  • It is hosted by at least one Frame, where each containing Frame has its JournalOwnership property is set to UsesParentJournal.

Note
once a Frame creates its own journal, switching to Automatic has no effect.

The following example illustrates a Frame yielding journal management to a host NavigationWindow.

<Page xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation">

  <!-- Frame that uses its own journal -->
  <Frame JournalOwnership="OwnsJournal" Source="Page2.xaml" />
