In Microsoft Expression Blend, you can use navigation behaviors to help define navigation.

SketchFlow navigation behaviors

In SketchFlow, you can use navigation behaviors to navigate through the site by following a path other than what the prototype designer may have specified. You can also easily add Back and Forward navigation by using behaviors.

The following navigation behaviors are available in SketchFlow:

  • NavigateBackAction���Use the NavigateBackAction action to navigate back to a screen that you were previously viewing. The NavigateBackAction action functions in the same way as the Back button in the SketchFlow Player.

    For more information about this action, see NavigateBackAction.

  • NavigateForwardAction���Use the NavigateForwardAction action to navigate forward to a screen that you were viewing before navigating back to a previous screen. The NavigateForwardAction action functions in the same way as the Forward button in the SketchFlow Player.

    For more information about this action, see NavigateForwardAction.

  • NavigationMenuAction���Use the NavigationMenuAction action to associate a particular state with a particular screen. This is particularly useful if you are trying to mimic user navigation while preserving the navigation path and visual states that represent the user's interaction with a navigation menu.

    For more information about this action, see NavigationMenuAction.

  • NavigateToScreenAction���Use the NavigateToScreenAction action to specify navigation between screens.

    For more information about this action, see NavigateToScreenAction.

NoteNote:

You can use all the behaviors in available in Expression Blend in SketchFlow projects. However, SketchFlow behaviors are available only in SketchFlow projects.
