How to display another View in a ContentControl inside a Dialog screen in WPF Prism.
In WPF Prism, follow the steps below to display another view in a ContentControl inside a dialog screen.
Create the view for the dialog
- Create the view for the dialog. For example, create a view named
"MyDialogView". - Create the view model for the dialog. For example, create a view model named
"MyDialogViewModel". - Add a
ContentControlto the dialog's view.
For example, use the following XAML code to add the ContentControl.
<UserControl x:Class="MyNamespace.MyDialogView"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:prism="http://www.codeplex.com/prism"
prism:ViewModelLocator.AutoWireViewModel="True"
Width="300"
Height="300">
<ContentControl
prism:RegionManager.RegionManager="{Binding MainRegionManager}"
prism:RegionManager.RegionName="{Binding ContentRegionName}"/>
</UserControl>
Create the view to display inside part of the dialog
- Define the view you want to display inside the dialog's view. For example, use the following XAML code to define the view you want to display.
<UserControl x:Class="MyNamespace.MyContentView"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Grid>
<!-- 表示させたいコンテンツの定義 -->
</Grid>
</UserControl>
Add processing to the dialog's ViewModel
- In the constructor of the dialog's ViewModel, add the processing needed to display the view you want to show.
public MyDialogView(IRegionManager regionManager)
{
MainRegionManager = regionManager;
MainRegionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion(_contentRegionName, nameof(MyContentView));
}
private IRegionManager _mainRegionManager;
public IRegionManager MainRegionManager
{
get { return _mainRegionManager; }
set { SetProperty(ref _mainRegionManager, value); }
}
private readonly string _contentRegionName = "dialogRegionName";
public string ContentRegionName
{
get { return _contentRegionName; }
}
Note that for a dialog, you need to set the injected RegionManager as the dialog's own RegionManager.
By following these steps, you can display another view in a ContentControl inside a dialog screen.
That said, the way a view is displayed and how a view model is created may differ depending on the application, so adjust as needed.
