Menu System Basics

Overview

The fundamentals of a basic menu system is in place to add graphics.

Background

Now that the program can be controlled via hand gestures from the Kinect. A menu system to navigate needed to be implemented.

Activity

The first task is understand how different windows can be navigated through in a WPF application. The solution is using 1 window with multiple "pages". Rather then loading new windows each time only the page inside a window is loaded, similar to iFrames.
The basic system of using multiple pages was sourced from http://azerdark.wordpress.com/2010/04/23/multi-page-application-in-wpf/ by using a switcher class the program allows the users to switch between different pages.
The initial window to load is specified in the App.XAML document.
The menu is current only a basic button has the images for the GUI are still to be made, however the fundamental code to operate the menu is complete.
