In one MainViewModel I am sending a message:
private void TextBoxKeyDownVMMethod(KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Key == Key.Enter)
{
MessengerInstance.Send<Messages.WebTab.NavigatingToPageArgs>(new NavigatingToPageArgs { UrlForNavigating = "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11485897/viewmodel-doesnt-receive-message-in-mvvm-light" });
//GoToPageInSelectedTabVMCommand.Execute((object)null);
Keyboard.ClearFocus();
}
}
In another one I am receiving it:
public WebTabItemVievModel()
{
MessengerInstance.Register<NotificationMessage<Messages.WebTab.NavigatingToPageArgs>>(this, _MessageHandler_NavigatingToPage);
}
private void _MessageHandler_NavigatingToPage(NotificationMessage<NavigatingToPageArgs> args)
{
GoToPageCommand.Execute(args.Content.UrlForNavigating);
}
WebTabItemVievModel is created as ObservableCollection in constructor of MainViewModel, this collection is ItemsSource for tab control
public MainViewModel()
{
WebTabItems = new ObservableCollection<WebTabItemVievModel>();
WebTabItemVievModel tabItem;
tabItem = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<WebTabItemVievModel>();
tabItem.Header = "Empty tab";
WebTabItems.Add(tabItem);
tabItem = new WebTabItemVievModel { Header = "Empty tab" };
WebTabItems.Add(tabItem);
tabItem = new WebTabItemVievModel { Header = "Empty tab" };
WebTabItems.Add(tabItem);
tabItem = new WebTabItemVievModel() { AddNewTabOnTabHeaderClick =true};
WebTabItems.Add(tabItem);
}
WebTabItemVievModel has its own UserControl for visualisation, which is binded through resource definition in MainWindow.xaml:
<Window.Resources>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vm:WebTabItemVievModel}" >
<v:WebTabItemContentViev></v:WebTabItemContentViev>
</DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
Locator already has true parameter while registering. It did not change anything:
SimpleIoc.Default.Register<WebTabItemVievModel>(true);
SimpleIoc.Default.Register<MainViewModel>(true);
Who has any ideas why WebTabItemVievModels do not receive messages?
While registering the type is
NotificationMessage
But while sending the type is Messages.WebTab.NavigatingToPageArgs
Make types same and it should work
