I'm using MahApps HamburgerMenu control with HamburgerMenuIconItem items. When I changing the SelectedIndex or SelectedItem property of HamburgerMenu, selected item is highlighted, but content of this item not showing.

When you change the Selected Index, you must also change the content. You can do something like this:

HamburgermenuIconItem item = HamburgerMenuControl.Items[SelectedItems]    
HamburgerMenuControl.Content = item.Tag

However, unless you are doing something particular, i would stick with the classic event ItemClick instead of messing with the indexes

private void HamburgerMenuControl_ItemClick(object sender, ItemClickEventArgs e)
    {
        this.HamburgerMenuControl.Content = e.ClickedItem;
        this.HamburgerMenuControl.IsPaneOpen = false;
    }

Note that HamburgerMenuControl is just the name i gave to the HamburgerMenu

  • @DanileSartori in your answer you cite `SelectedItems` as an indexer to `HamburgerMenuControl.Items`. Is that intentional or did you mean `SelectedIndex`? – David Savage Aug 23 '18 at 13:59
  • @David Savage i don't remember honestly if you can change the SelectedItem property. However, i would stick with my suggestion to use item click event handler as in the second part of my answer – Daniele Sartori Aug 23 '18 at 14:04
