Back Button Sample

Shows how to set up an event handler for the back button event and how to enable the title bar back button for when the app is in windowed Desktop mode.

Note: This sample is part of a large collection of UWP feature samples. If you are unfamiliar with Git and GitHub, you can download the entire collection as a ZIP file, but be sure to unzip everything to access shared dependencies. For more info on working with the ZIP file, the samples collection, and GitHub, see Get the UWP samples from GitHub. For more samples, see the Samples portal on the Windows Dev Center.

Specifically, this sample covers:

  • Setting up an event handler for BackRequested and to navigate back in the page stack.
  • Enabling and disabling the title bar back button based on the app's internal page stack.

To obtain an insider copy of Windows 10, go to Windows 10.

Note For Windows 10 app samples, go to Windows 10 Samples. The samples for Windows 10 can be built and run using Windows developer tools.
