how to pass object between ViewModels using windowmanager caliburn micro wpf

Question

I have AddEditViewModel and AddEditView associated with it. I want to start dialog window from ViewModel2 using IWindowManager object. The code from ViewModel2 class:

windowManager.ShowDialog(new AddEditViewModel(_windowManager,_events), 
this.SelectedCar, settings);

but I don't know how to recover the object this.SelectedCar in the AddEditViewModel? Is it possible ?

Is it still a problem or you solved it? – EngineerSpock Mar 12 '16 at 18:15 — EngineerSpock, Mar 12 '16 at 18:15

You can access the object after the dialog has been shown:

var model = new AddEditViewModel(_windowManager, _events);

dynamic settings = new ExpandoObject(); 
settings.WindowStyle = WindowStyle.ToolWindow; 
settings.ShowInTaskbar = true; 
settings.Title = "This is a custom title";

var result = windowManager.ShowDialog(model, null, settings);

var car = model.SelectedCar;
