    Hello,

    i want to use some native elements for the UI/Control (mostly buttons, textboxes etc).
    Thats ok, i can add the elements to the xaml and use it, but i have 2 different unity scene where the ui is different.

    I tried to copy the default mainpage and navigate to that, but the unity is not rendering on the second page -
    can someone help me to find a solution? Or this cant be done?

    This can not be done. Unity can only be initialized once on a particular screen.
    You have to replace your XAML controls on the same page.

    You can do it if you add the same swapchainpanel to the new page too.

    So (basically), i need to make a SwapChainPanel global variable to the App.xaml.cs and use that?

    I know, that this is not the correct unity usage and i can build with one page also (change which ui is visible based on the scene loaded) but this would be awesome in a few different way :)

    Or just grab the one from the MainPage. Either way should work.
