PageFunction Generic Class
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in presentationframework.dll)
XML Namespace: http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation
PageFunction essentially allows you to treat a page navigation like a function call, in which a page navigates to (calls) a page function.
To enable function call semantics, PageFunction provides the following capabilities:
-
When the page function has finished processing, the page function code calls OnReturn to return to the calling page.
-
OnReturn accepts a ReturnEventArgs parameter, which can be used to return a value by settings the Result property. Otherwise, null can be passed to OnReturn to signify no value is returned
-
To detect when a page function has returned, the calling page can handle the page function's PageFunction. Return event.
-
To return a value, the page function passes creates an instance of ReturnEventArgs class and sets its object whose Result property can be set with the return value. The calling page can retrieve this value from the ReturnEventArgs object that is passed to the Return event handler.
By default, a pf is retained in navigation history after it returns. To ensure that it is not retained in navigation history, its RemoveFromJournal property should be set to true.
