I have a MainWindow where I navigate between UserControls by clicking on a menu and it works fine.
I am using this following pattern:

In one of those usercontrol there is a button. By clicking on this button I want to navigate to another usercontrol.
How do I do that?
MainView
<UserControl.Resources>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type cvm:FirstViewModel}">
<cv:FirstView/>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type cvm:SecondViewModel}">
<cv:SecondView/>
</DataTemplate>
<cvm:MainViewModel x:Key="main"/>
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource main}}">
<Border Grid.Row="0">
<Menu Height="58">
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding PageViewModels}" Width="289" Height="58">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock>
<Hyperlink Command="{Binding ChangePageCommand, Mode=OneWay, Source={StaticResource main}}" CommandParameter="{Binding}" TextDecorations="{x:Null}">
<InlineUIContainer>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"/>
</InlineUIContainer>
</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
</Menu>
</Border>
<Border Grid.Row="1" >
<ContentControl Content="{Binding CurrentUserControl}"/>
</Border>
</Grid>
MainViewModel
public class MainViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
public MainViewModel()
{
PageViewModels.Add(new FirstViewModel());
PageViewModels.Add(new SecondViewModel());
// Set starting page
CurrentUserControl = PageViewModels[0];
}
#region Fields
private List<IUserContentViewModel> _pageViewModels;
public List<IUserContentViewModel> PageViewModels
{
get
{
if (_pageViewModels == null)
_pageViewModels = new List<IUserContentViewModel>();
return _pageViewModels;
}
}
private IUserContentViewModel _currentUserControl;
public IUserContentViewModel CurrentUserControl
{
get { return _currentUserControl; }
set
{
if (value != _currentUserControl)
{
_currentUserControl = value;
OnPropertyChanged("CurrentUserControl");
}
}
}
#region Methods
private void ChangeViewModel(IUserContentViewModel viewModel)
{
if (!PageViewModels.Contains(viewModel))
PageViewModels.Add(viewModel);
CurrentUserControl = PageViewModels
.FirstOrDefault(vm => vm == viewModel);
}
#endregion
private ICommand _changePageCommand;
#endregion
public ICommand ChangePageCommand
{
get
{
if (_changePageCommand == null)
{
_changePageCommand = new RelayCommand(
p => ChangeViewModel((IUserContentViewModel)p),
p => p is IUserContentViewModel);
}
return _changePageCommand;
}
}
}
SecondView
<Grid Background="Blue">
<Button /> <!-- Going to ThirdView?????????-->
</Grid>
