I'm using mvvm for my new project. I have a message dispatcher to send messages between viewmodels but in one case I have to receive messages in a view. This view contains a toolbar panel that must contain the toolbar related to detail view (example editing a customer needs a toolbar with Save, Undo, Redo, Cancel).
The problem is that I have to subscribe to messages inside the view to be able to write this:
broker.Subscribe<AddToolbarPanelMessage>(x=>toolbar.Add(x.Panel));
But... I have to 1) retrive the view from a container (so not XAML!) in order to have DI for the messageBroker 2) call a static IoC.Container.Resolve(); inside constructor
Option 2 broke VS2010 designer because container is not configured in design mode...
Any idea? View is not visible from viewmodel, I use a static ViewModelLocator.
