I have a ShellView using interactivity objects with prism's PopupWindowAction for show my custom settings view. And my ShellViewModel contain InteractionRequest object and a Delegate Command that will fire the user interaction. After user fired interaction, custom settings view (DataFeedManagerView) appear center of ShellView. In My DataFeedManagerView, there is a list of DataFeeds (ListBox control) on the left side and there is datafeed specific settings view (ContentControl with set Region via RegionManager) on the right side. First, i registered all Views with RegisterViewWithRegion. Then what i try to do is activate related object settings view within content control via Region's Activate method. When i try to do like this, i'm receiving an error "can not find region". So we can not use regions inside custom popup window???
PS1: Maybe this is so simple requirement but containing many steps because of that my explanation was a little bit complicated. I hope code will be more descriptive.
PS2: I meet expectations with using simple binding to ContentControl's content property. But i'm worry about what is my mistake and/or right solution for use regions inside custom interaction popup window.
