• IsOpen(bool)—Specifies a value indicating if the drawer content is visible.

  • Fade, Push, Reveal, ReverseSlideOut, ScaleUp, SlideAling, SlideInOnTop, Custom

• DrawerTransitionFadeOpacity(double)—Defines the opacity of the fade layer of the component. This controls the fade layer opacity on Android or the dim opacity on iOS.

Keep Drawer open and main content area active

By default the SideDrawer Drawer Content closes when user clicks/taps outside of it. By setting the TapOutsideToClose(bool) to false, the drawer content remains open if the user taps/clicks outside of it and the main content area remains active. The default value of TapOutsideToClose is true.

A sample Location example can be found in the SideDrawer/Features folder of the SDK Samples Browser application.
