PRISM 4 + MVVM + WPF + InteractionRequest for Dialogs with details

Question

I am currently working on a project that is using PRISM 4 + MVVM in a WPF 4 application.
I have been reading up on InteractionRequest and there seems to be little information on how to implement it so that the dialog is a stylable user control and has textbox and other controls in it.
All the samples I find are just dialog windows with text in them.

What I am looking to do is have a listview that when a user selects an item it opens a dialog box where they can edit the details and either save or cancel.

Is this the correct approach with WPF? Should I be doing something other than InteractionRequest?
I generally do web applications so WPF is a bit new to me.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

i simply use a dialog service for this kind of work.

in your viewmodel you just have to call

  var result = this.uiDialogService.ShowDialog("Dialogwindow title goes here, eg Edit Details", detailViewmodel);

thats all :)

EDIT:

you can style your UserControl like you want

<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:DetailViewModel}" >
    <view:DetailsView/>
</DataTemplate>
