Hi,
I am using a RadWindow as UserControl as per this documentation.
I am having some difficulty in using it with MVVM. I have a ShellView (which is my RootVisual) and it has a ShellViewModel.cs class supporting it. I also gave my RadWindow a ViewModel to control its behavior, etc.
I need to be able able to show my RadWindow in the form of a dialog window when the application starts up, presumable from the ShellViewModel, but I have no idea how to do this! Any ideas will be welcome!
Stefan

Hi George,
Yes, I am using Prism and thanks for the sample, it solved my initial problem. Is it a good idea to use the RadWindow as base class for a view managed by a ViewModel? Also, I have not included a region or content control for the content, is this also acceptable practice?
Another issue I have is that the RadWindow's KeyPress event is required to be handled in the ViewModel. It is expected behavior for the user to press the Enter key once he/she filled in the Username and Password. I know that Prism only support Click events and that custom commands can be developed, but I am not sure if/how to make it work for RadWindow. I have also looked at the Expression InvokeCommand and other Triggers, but I can't seem capture a Enter keypress in my ViewModel.
Please advise,
Stefan

Hi Stefan Buys,
Straight to your questions:
I hope this helps.

Straight to your questions:
- I cannot say if this is a good idea or not. The most important is to suits your needs. If it does, then go ahead.
- You could use InputBindings. The idea is to bind the KeyPress event to a command in your view.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
