Question

I don't know how to create Textblock "Connected" inside NavigationView. I read about PaneTitle, but its not what i need at this situation

Answer 1

If you are using the native NavigationView control, what you need is to create a default style of the NavigationView control.

Open the DocumentOutline windows from the Visual Studio, it will show all the controls that you've added to the Xaml page, then choose the target NavigationView , right click it and choose Edit Template -> Edit a copy . Then the Visual Studio will automatically generate a default style of the NavigationView .

In the style, there is a Grid called PaneContentGrid inside a SplitView.Pane, that's the place where the NavigationViewItems are listed. You could add another button as you want.
