How to pass parameter from View through Ribbon in WPF/Prism?

Question

I did successfully place a RibbonControl into my shell-view (I'm using PRISM) and I'm also able to navigate to a different view when a Ribbon control has been clicked.

Now, I'm stuck with the following problem: how can I pass a parameter from one view to the other? I know how to do it via CommandParameter however, the problem is that I'm in the shell view model.

To be more explicit: e.g. on 1st view user selects a row from listview (containing record ID). Now, I want to click on a RibbonButton and open a 2nd view with the parameter from view 1.

Could someone point me to the right direction?

Thank you so much!

Use IRegionManager.RequestNavigate to navigate, and then have you ViewModels implement INavigationAware. Read the docs here:
