        public SelectedNavigationItemController() {
            TargetWindowType = WindowType.Main;
        }
        protected override void OnActivated() {
            base.OnActivated();
            Frame.GetController<ShowNavigationItemController>().CustomUpdateSelectedItem += SelectedNavigationItemController_CustomUpdateSelectedItem;
            Application.ViewShowing += Application_ViewShowing;
        }
        bool cancelSelectedNavigationItemChange;
        private void Application_ViewShowing(object sender, ViewShowingEventArgs e) {
            if (e.View.Id == "Employee_DetailView" && e.SourceFrame?.View?.Id == "Person_ListView") {
                cancelSelectedNavigationItemChange = true;
            }
        }
        private void SelectedNavigationItemController_CustomUpdateSelectedItem(object sender, CustomUpdateSelectedItemEventArgs e) {
            if (cancelSelectedNavigationItemChange) {
                cancelSelectedNavigationItemChange = false;
                e.Handled = true;
                e.ProposedSelectedItem = ((ShowNavigationItemController)sender).ShowNavigationItemAction.SelectedItem;
            }
        }
        protected override void OnDeactivated() {
            base.OnDeactivated();
            Frame.GetController<ShowNavigationItemController>().CustomUpdateSelectedItem -= SelectedNavigationItemController_CustomUpdateSelectedItem;
            Application.ViewShowing -= Application_ViewShowing;
        }
    }
}
