We should consider exposing a property that will leave the side drawer opened even when you click on the main content. 

We have created dynamic menu for drawer, menu is opening drawer dynamically from Left and Right side Location both sides.

 

When I tap that navigation menu first time then its opening from left side instead of right side, now when i tap that again then its opening from right side as per requirement. 

Sets the number of pixels from the screen edges that will define the touchable area which allows to open the DrawerContent

The property is available in native controls:

Android: TouchTargetThreshold
iOS: EdgeSwipeTreshold
UWP: TouchTargetThreshold

When using OneWay mode binding for RadSideDrawer.IsOpen property, the drawer doesn't open when changing the view model property value.

XAML Implementation

<primitives:RadSideDrawer  IsOpen="{Binding IsOpen}">


ViewModel Property Implementation:

private bool isOpen = true;
public bool IsOpen
{
     get { return isOpen; }
     set { SetProperty(ref isOpen, value); }
}



WORKAROUND:

Changing the binding to TwoWay mode will make it work, for example:  IsOpen="{Binding IsOpen, Mode=TwoWay}"

The scenario in which the issue is reproducible is when one of the tabs of a RadTabView contains a RadSideDrawer. Switching the view a couple of times causes an exception to be thrown when trying to open the tab that contains the RadSideDrawer. 

The issue is reproducible in UWP and Android.

When IsOpen is changed and the animation of the SideDrawer is triggered, interrupting that animation will make the property behave inconsistently.
