PanelBar and MVVM

[Doug]

Hello everyone.

I am playing around with MVVM (leveraging Prism and Unity), but I am somewhat stuck on how to bind my modules to a PanelBar properly. What I want to do is set the ItemHeader text to the name of whatever module I am loading (at design time, I don't know how many modules will be loaded), and then have the Items (Views) be displayed under that.  Graphically it would look something like this:

################    PanelBar    ############### 
================Module 1 Text=============== //ItemHeader
---------------------------- View     1 Text--------------------------- //Item
---------------------------- View     2 Text--------------------------- //Item
---------------------------- View     3 Text--------------------------- //Item
================Module 3 Text=============== //ItemHeader
---------------------------- View     1 Text--------------------------- //Item
---------------------------- View     2 Text--------------------------- //Item
########################################## 

I know (basically) how to get 'View X Text' to display through the use of a ViewModel, but I am not sure about getting the ItemHeader set properly.  Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Hi Doug,

I prepared a sample project for you in which the names of the Prism Modules are set to be Headers of the root level PanelBarItems. I hope this is what you need to achieve or at least you can get some ideas from this project.
