Here's the scenario:
I'm working with Xamarin forms and using FreshMVVM.
My main screen is a FreshTabbedFONavigationContainer, one of the tabs navigate deeper into other pages while the others don't. If I'm in one of those deeper pages and do:
CoreMethods.PushNewNavigationServiceModal(...)
the next navigation page is added to the stack and the back button appears and works fine.
But if I call the same method from a root page in my main tabs page, the back button doesn't appear. I'm calling the same method, the same way, with the same argument types. I've even tried the same arguments.
Why would it work from a deeper FreshBasePageModel and not from the first FreshBasePageModel in a FreshTabbedFONavigationContainer? I've tried FreshTabbedNavigationContainer too and it made no difference.
Also, is there a way to force the back button to show and manage its behavior?

I am having a problem with navigating between tab sheets in code.
I have a button that will be clicked
In the OnClick event the next tabsheet should become the active tabsheet
I am looking for the code to put in the button that will make the active tabsheet move from the current tabsheet to the next tabsheet. I am using a page control with two pages.
TPageControl has a SelectNextPage() method for this very purpose, eg:
PageControl1.SelectNextPage(True);
I have one issue in my program, i have three pages in my program, Main page, first page and second page. I'm able to navigate from the main page to the first page and from the first page to the second page. I have a stack panel in the first page. It consists of children which are dynamically created from the db. This page contains a OnNavigateTo method, for bringing the elements from the main page and displaying it, And i wrote my codings in this method to add dynamically children to the stackpanel. when navigating back from the second page to the first page, the compiler will goes to the OnNavigateTo method and regenerate the children of the stackpanel once again.
My problem is:
i want to show the previously displayed first page with all the data, when the back button is pressed. I doesn't want the page to regenerate again. I want the static page which i have previously when i go back from the second page to the first page.
How to do it? please help me with some piece of code... Thank You..
Do the logic in the constructor, because it doesn't get called when navigating back (unless the app has been tombstoned). OnNavigatedTo gets called every time no matter how you navigate to the page.

I have a C#.NET MVC3 web app. I have a View that has a List of Models. This list can be long, requiring the user to scroll down on the View. When selecting one of the models in the View to Edit, the user is taken to the Edit View. After submitting the Edit View, the user is redirected back to the List View. However, the List View is now displaying back at the top of the list. How can I redirect the user back to the same position in the List View where they clicked the Edit button?
You would probably be better suited using a modal popup dialog to edit the data, rather than navigating to another page.
While it's possible to do what you want, it's a pain. You would have to get the scroll location via javascript, save it to a hidden field, post that to your edit page, along with record number and anything else, then re-post it back to your original page when you return, then read the post value and scroll to it via javascript.
All that is avoided if you just use a modal edit dialog, then when the dialog goes away the page is still in the same place.
In my program I have the main window in the background which has a smaller, UIScrollView on it. I have buttons on each page of the scroll view which I want to bring up a modal view that can be dissmissed. It works fine for the first page, however, when I click the button on the second page of the scroll view the modal view that is brought up is on top of the first page instead of the second and the second page is completely blank. When I close the modal view, the first page has been replaced with the second page and the second page is still left blank... The code I am using is:
MVC = new NewsModalViewController(this);
MVC.ModalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyle.CoverVertical;
MVC.ModalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.CurrentContext;
I've been trying to play around with the frames but having no luck...
Any insights?

I would rewrite the subpages to fire an event that the parent view listens to. Then, display the modal from the parent view (you can actually create the modal in the child view and pass it up on the event). This eliminates any problems with the modal being applied to the wrong context.
There may be another explanation, but this is the method I've implemented on a couple applications and has served me well. It appears that modals are best displayed only from the highest level view in the stack.
I have a Prism/SL3 application with a tab control and each page of the tab control is a "Region" that has its own view and viewModel. when I want to validate the main page, I call dataForm.ValidateItem(), then I go to all the child views and do the same. the problem is, only the pages which user has clicked on them (on the tab page), get instantiated and the pages that are never shown, don't have their view instantiated, thus I can't validate them.
any help?
I created a psuedo work around for this. It's very hacky, but it does work. My example involved walking the visual tree (up and down) to find respective controls that are invalid and then "expanding" the selected item. I have used an accordian in my example, but have also tested this with tab:
