POCaliburn Micro WPF Window Management
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm wanting to start a WPF application using caliburn.micro so I can use TDD as much as possible, I've used caliburn.micro before with WP7 but WPF seems to be a different ship, and the documentation isn't as complete as that for WP7.</p> <p>I've set up the project with my Bootstrapper</p> <pre><code>public class ApplicationBootstrapper : Bootstrapper { private SimpleContainer _container; private WindowManager _windowManager; protected override void Configure() { _container = new SimpleContainer(); _windowManager = new WindowManager(); _container.RegisterSingleton(typeof(MainViewModel), "MainViewModel", typeof(MainViewModel)); _container.RegisterSingleton(typeof(DataViewModel), "DataViewModel", typeof(DataViewModel)); } protected override object GetInstance(Type service, string key) { return _container.GetInstance(service, key); } protected override IEnumerable<object> GetAllInstances(Type service) { return _container.GetAllInstances(service); } protected override void BuildUp(object instance) { _container.BuildUp(instance); } protected override void OnStartup(object sender, System.Windows.StartupEventArgs e) { _windowManager.ShowWindow(_container.GetInstance(typeof(MainViewModel), "MainViewModel")); } } </code></pre> <p>and this loads the MainView fine, which made me think I had won but I was then wanting to move on and have another view/viewmodel setup but for the life of me I cannot get the WindowManager to be passed through to my ViewModel in order to load more views (As I did with the NavigationService in WP7)</p> <p>Here is my MainViewModel code</p> <pre><code>public class MainViewModel : BaseViewModel { private readonly DataViewModel _dataViewModel; private readonly IWindowManager _windowManager; public MainViewModel(IWindowManager windowManager, DataViewModel dataViewModel) { _dataViewModel = dataViewModel; _windowManager = windowManager; } public string Title { get { return ApplicationTitle; } } public void BtnNew() { System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(_windowManager == null); } public void BtnLoad() { MessageBox.Show("Sorry, not yet implemented"); } } </code></pre> <p>But the Window Manger and the DataViewModel is always null, when I searched the internet for a solution I found that it was indeed the WindowManager that I wanted to utilize, and something about the MEFBootStrapper? but I would have thought that the framework conventions that I used on WP7 would have transferred a tonne better than it seems to be.</p> <p>The Simple Container is just the <a href="http://caliburnmicro.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=SimpleContainer&referringTitle=Documentation" rel="nofollow">recipe</a> provided by caliburn.micro on their site, and the one I used in WP7 applications</p>
