TitleBar back button for UWP

TitleBar back button for UWP

To add a back button to the title bar in a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app, follow these steps:

  • In the XAML for your page or view, add a CommandBar element to the page and set its DefaultLabelPosition property to Right.
<CommandBar DefaultLabelPosition="Right"> <!-- Back button goes here --> </CommandBar>
  • Inside the CommandBar, add a AppBarButton element for the back button. Set the Icon property to the "Back" symbol and set the Label property to "Back".
<CommandBar DefaultLabelPosition="Right"> <AppBarButton Icon="Back" Label="Back"/> </CommandBar>
  • In the code-behind for the page, handle the Click event of the back button. In the event handler, call the Frame.GoBack() method to navigate back to the previous page.
private void BackButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { Frame.GoBack(); }
  • In the constructor for the page, set the SystemNavigationManager.AppViewBackButtonVisibility property to AppViewBackButtonVisibility.Visible. This will show the system back button in addition to the title bar back button.
public MyPage() { InitializeComponent(); SystemNavigationManager.GetForCurrentView().AppViewBackButtonVisibility = AppViewBackButtonVisibility.Visible; }

With these steps, you should now have a back button in the title bar of your UWP app that allows the user to navigate back to the previous page.
