Window title is overwritten when using Caliburn's conductor<object> in view model

Question

New to Caliburn and WPF MVVM, so I may be overlooking something pretty simple and I couldn't find anything searching the web.

Set up a simple wpf project with Caliburn.Micro. Set window title in ShellView.xaml. Works fine. Main MetroWindow displays the title as expcted.

Works fine:

[Export(typeof (IShell))]
public class ShellViewModel : PropertyChangedBased, IShell
{}

But change to:

[Export(typeof (IShell))]
public class ShellViewModel : Conductor<object>
{}

and Window title is the fully qualified name of this ViewModel. ANy help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

You can use it like this:

[Export(typeof (IShell))]
public class ShellViewModel : Conductor<IScreen>
{
    public ShellViewModel()
    {
        DisplayName = "Your window title";
    }
}

In my repository you can find some applications in WPF using Caliburn.Micro, for example:

• DanceFloor - this one uses Conductor
• Library-Manager
