Universal Windows® Apps with XAML and C# Unleashed

Handling Links with SettingsPane

When one of the links is clicked, you can do whatever you’d like, but the convention is to show a new piece of UI that mimics the Settings pane. The SettingsFlyout content control is designed for this. Unlike when your app is a share target, you cannot inject custom UI into the pane itself. When one of the links is clicked, the Settings pane closes.

SettingsFlyout can be confusing to use, because it is not meant to be statically placed in the element tree on any of your pages. The easiest way to work with one is to add a new User Control to your project from Visual Studio’s Add New Item dialog, and then replace the contents of the XAML and C# files so you’re left with a class that derives from SettingsFlyout
