IMO, you could use navigation command for such scenario. We have discuss about navigation command in our docs on this article and a walkthrough of UXListBox which implements command also available here.

I tried your suggestion of invoking the Navigate method in the UXFrame, but that requires that the call be made in the code behind of the form. I used the SelectedItem event, but in doing so the code that I have in the viewmodel never gets executed. Does the UXListbox keep track of the current item internally somehow ? That would allow me to call the Navigate method with the key of the current item from the code behind.

I suggest you try command for navigation, as detailed here. You could also read about commanding in more detail here.

If all else fails, you could invoke the Navigate method in the UXFrame which hold the detail page. In the ClientUI_Business_Application Customer page, the snippet to navigate to CustomerDetail page DIEGO would be:

ContactFrame.Navigate(new Uri("/Customers/DIEGO", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));

I'm currently evaluating the ClientUI suite and have a question about UXListBox, in the example ClientUI_Business_Application on the Customers page there is a UXListBox with a datatemplate that has a UXNavigationButton, when a user clicks on the button the details are displayed to the right of the listbox. I would like to do something similar, I would like to populate the list with two colums of data, when the user clicks on one of the listbox items, the details would be displayed, I don't want to use a UXNavigationButton. How can I get this done ?

I'm thinking that the listbox SelectionChanged event might be one way but I don't know how to get the same functionalty that UXNavigationButton provides with in the event.
