caliburn

What's the best way to use WPF's built-in RoutedCommands with Caliburn ? For example, in my shell I have an Edit menu with a Copy item in it attached to the standard command found in ApplicationCommands : <Menu> <MenuItem Header="Edit"> <MenuItem Header="Copy" Command="ApplicationCommands.Copy" /> </MenuItem> </Menu> I want this item to be handled by a TextBox when it has the focus and by my own controls when they have the focus. In my controls I can handle Execute and CanExecute in code behind by creating a CommandBinding : <UserControl.CommandBindings> <CommandBinding Command=

in caliburn when i work with binding convention, and name a content control "CurrentPresenter" the framework automagically bind to the vm and locate the relevant view. if i do this binding manually the view is not located.. how might i achieve this ability without the binding convention (my view is a user control) You should bind to View.Model attached property, which: figures out the correct view to represent the VM binds the view DataContext to the VM pushes the view in the ContentControl's Content property Example: <!-- Caliburn v1.x --> <ContentControl cal:View.Model="{Binding

I'm trying to get a context menu within a ListBox ItemTemplate to call a method on the parent view model, passing in the item that was clicked on as a parameter. I have this working for other buttons in the item template, but for the context menu it seems to be failing. I have the following xaml (abbreviated for clarity): <ListBox> <ListBox.GroupStyle> <GroupStyle> ... </GroupStyle> </ListBox.GroupStyle> <ListBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <Grid> <Grid.ContextMenu> <ContextMenu Name="cm"> <MenuItem Header="Open" cal:Message.Attach="Open($dataContext)"> </MenuItem> </Grid.ContextMenu>

I'm trying to learn using Caliburn.Micro with WPF. How can I add multiple views inside a view? <Window x:Class="ProjectName.Views.MainView" ...> <Grid> <views:MyControlView /> </Grid> </Window> Another view, with viewmodel: MyControlViewModel <UserControl x:Class="ProjectName.Views.MyControlView" ...> <Grid> ... </Grid> </UserControl> If i just add the view, it won't detect that it has a viewmodel with the appropriate name. How can i bind this to it? I have tried out with different bootstrappers and using something like cal:Bind.Model="path/classname/merge of the two". Have tried to add that

My team and I are beginning to plan the development of a modular application which will likely multi-target WPF & Silverlight. I personally have some experience using the older version of PRISM to build a composite Silverlight app using the MVVM pattern. We weren't familiar with MEF at the time for handling the various module dependencies, so we didn't use it. We aren't married to any particular framework, but want to use one of the bigger players out there. As such we've begun to examine Caliburn/Caliburn Micro, Prism, MVVM Light and Reactive UI. Most of what I've read for modularity suggests

I have 2 types of ViewModel's public class ViewModelA { IService service; private ViewModelB childViewModel; public ViewModelA(IService service,ViewModelB childViewModel) { this.service = service; this.childViewModel = childViewModel; } public ViewModelB ChildViewModel { get { return childViewModel; } } } public class ViewModelB { IService serivce; public ViewModelB(IService service) { this.service = service; } } I have a Service registered into a Windsor Container : public class Service : IService {} container.Register(Component.For<IService>() .ImplementedBy<Service >().LifeStyle.Transient);
