I am new to MVVM. I found this artcle and it resolve my haf of problems.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/30898.simple-navigation-technique-in-wpf-using-mvvm.aspx
However, I need to navigate from one usercontrol to another from the button click event of one usercontrol not from the button on the main window.
Usercontrol 1:
Usercontrol 2:
This is what I have tried sofar;
class Usercontrol1ViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public ICommand navCommand { get; set; }
public Usercontrol1ViewModel()
{
navCommand = new BaseCommand(navigate);
}
private void navigate(object obj)
{
NavigationViewModel mainViewModel = new NavigationViewModel();
mainViewModel.SelectedViewModel = new Usercontrol2ViewModel();
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private void OnPropertyChanged(string propName)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propName));
}
}
}
NavigationView model class
Class NavigationViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public ICommand btn1Command { get; set; }
public ICommand btn2Command { get; set; }
private object selectedViewModel;
public object SelectedViewModel
{
get { return selectedViewModel; }
set { selectedViewModel = value; OnPropertyChanged("SelectedViewModel"); }
}
public NavigationViewModel()
{
btn1Command = new BaseCommand(Opencontrl1);
btn2Command = new BaseCommand(Opencontrl2);
}
private void Opencontrl1(object obj)
{
SelectedViewModel = new Usercontrol1ViewModel();
}
private void Opencontrl2(object obj)
{
SelectedViewModel = new Usercontrol2ViewModel();
}
public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
private void OnPropertyChanged(string propName)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propName));
}
}
}
Main window code behind;
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.DataContext = new NavigationViewModel();
}
}
Can somebody guide me how to achieve this with MVVM?
