I have the following (where `SideNav` is a class for the side bar):

```auto
<EdgeNavigator>
    <SideNav Edge="Left">...</SideNav>
    <Panel ux:Name="mainPanel">
      ...
      <PageControl>
        <Page>...</Page>
        <Page>...</Page>
      </PageControl>
    </Panel>
</EdgeNavigator>

```

Sometimes when swiping for the page control the `EdgeNavigator` may activate, I have a button that will navigate to the `SideNav` So I want to restrict navigation only to that button instead of swiping. So is there a way to easily disable the `SwipeGesture` of the `EdgeNavigator`

If you don’t want to swipe into the side menu then I suggest you just implement it as a regular Panel+LinearNavigation, which by default doesn’t listen to any swipes.

But how would I have the `SideNav` able to appear from anywhere?

You could try with something like this if you want to use a `Button`:

```auto
<App Theme="Basic">
    <Panel>        
        <Panel Width="150" Color="#f58" ux:Name="sidePanel" Opacity="0.8" Alignment="Left">
            <Translation X="-1" RelativeTo="Size" />
        </Panel>
        <WhileTrue ux:Name="showPanel">
            <Move Target="sidePanel" X="1" RelativeTo="Size" Duration="0.3" Easing="QuadraticInOut" />
        </WhileTrue>    
        <Button Text="Toggle" Alignment="Center">
            <Clicked>
                <Toggle Target="showPanel" />
            </Clicked>
        </Button>
    </Panel>
</App>

```
