Hamburger Menu in Windows/Windows Phone 8.1

Question

Is it posible to implement an Hamburger menu (or similar) in Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

A really quick search brings up results like this one:

github.com/FrayxRulez/SplitView

This repository contains a porting of SplitView control available in Windows 10 for Runtime 8.1 and Silverlight 8.X

Properties are the same, so if in future you want to port your app to 10 you have just to remove the Universal.UI.Xaml.Controls namespace.

Answer 2

Windows 8.1 doesn't support Splitview which is mostly used to create a hamburger menu. You can however code it all, but that will be a big mess. I Suggest you take a look at UWP and the controls inside UWP, to easily create a hamburger menu. There is many tutorials on how to create one in UWP.
