Prism 4: How to hide items in an ItemsControl?
I am creating a Prism 4 demo app to learn the new framework, focusing on view-switchin开发者_开发百科g. The app has several regions, one of which is an ItemsControl that holds one or more buttons from the currently-active module.
I am registering the buttons with the Region Manager in each module's Initilize()
method. Here is the registration code for the first module:
RegionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion("ButtonRegion", typeof(ModuleAButton1));
RegionManager.RegisterViewWithRegion("ButtonRegion", typeof(ModuleAButton2));
The second module registers its buttons the same way. I use RequestNavigate()
to switch between the two modules.
Here's my problem: The buttons from both modules are visible in the ItemsControl
, instead of just the buttons from the active module. I considered changing the ItemsControl
to a ContentControl
and putting the buttons in a StackPanel
, but for reasons I won't bore you with here, that won't work for me. What I need to do is either:
Load the buttons when a module is activated, and unload them when I switch to the other module, or
Show the buttons when a module is activated, and hide them when I switch to the other module.
How do I do that in Prism 4? Thanks for your help.
I found my answer. Implement the IRegionMemberLifetime
interface on the view or its view model. The interface is made up of a single read-only boolean property, KeepAlive
. If the property is set to true
, the view will be kept alive after the user navigates away from it. If the property is set to false
, the view will be unloaded. See the "Developers Guide to Microsoft Prism" (Ver 4), p. 121.
