    text
    copied!<p>I have an app using Caliburn.micro and a custom window manager. The window manager is creating my own Base Window so I can customize the look and feel across the application. </p> <p>I would like to add some controls on the window something like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;DockPanel&gt; &lt;ContentPresenter Content="{Binding CustomContent}" /&gt; &lt;StatusBar Height="20" DockPanel.Dock="Bottom" Background="Blue"/&gt; &lt;/DockPanel&gt; </code></pre> <p>I would like to have Caliburn put the usercontrol from my ViewModel in the ContentPresenter, but Caliburn is replacing the entire content of my window. </p> <p>I did this in the window:</p> <pre><code>using System.Windows; namespace CaliburnCustomWindow { public partial class WindowBase { public static readonly DependencyProperty CustomContentProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("CustomContent", typeof (object), typeof (WindowBase)); public object CustomContent { get { return GetValue(CustomContentProperty); } set { SetValue(CustomContentProperty, value); } } public WindowBase() { InitializeComponent(); } } } </code></pre> <p>And then modified my WindowManager to do this:</p> <pre><code>using System.Windows; using Caliburn.Micro; namespace CaliburnCustomWindow { internal class AppWindowManager : WindowManager { protected override Window EnsureWindow(object model, object view, bool isDialog) { Window window = view as Window; if (window == null) { if (view.GetType() == typeof (MainView)) { window = new WindowBase { CustomContent = view, SizeToContent = SizeToContent.Manual }; window.Height = 500; window.Width = 500; } window.SetValue(View.IsGeneratedProperty, true); } else { Window owner2 = InferOwnerOf(window); if (owner2 != null &amp;&amp; isDialog) { window.Owner = owner2; } } return window; } } } </code></pre> <p>But it doesn't work. That binding to the CustomContent dependency property doesn't seem to work. </p> <p>Is is possible to do this? If so how?</p>
