DockingManager with Caliburn micro v3.2.0 using SimpleContainer

Question

I am new to this community, so Hello everyone.

I am trying to use DockingManager with CaliburnMicro v3.2.0

I have found many examples in this forum, but most of them use MEF for some unknown reason to me.

I am not looking to make my app so complicated and decided to use CaliburnMicro SimpleContainer for container and not implement MEF.

Is it possible to convert this example : http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/CaliburnMicro_Demo-1481170370.zip

to v3.2.0 and using IoC SimpleContainer.

Or is there some special need to use ME-Framework ?

I am not that experienced with front-end design so I apologize already if this is not so adequate question/request.

And finally,

first I explored PRISM library(I found it really comfortable, but not so good for DockingManger integration) , in my humble opinion it seemed to have more discrepancies than CaliburnMicro.

Any help is welcome. :)

Thank you.

There is no need to use only MEF Container, we can implement the same with other Containers also. We have removed MEF container for resolving components and have used Caliburn Micro's Simple IOC container.

Hello, thank you for this example it fit perfectly for my needs.

But with PRISM 6 and DryIoc.

is it possible to make similar example with similar adapter like in this example.

I mean by that restoring window states, changing themes and so on.

Found this similar example but no implementation of window states - https://www.syncfusion.com/forums/136816/prism-6-example

Thank you.

Hi Kalev, 
 
Thank you for your update. 
 
We hope your requirement is to customize the theme for previously shared sample, if so the previous application itself have this functionality. The theme can be customized by using the Theme menu item, please refer below screenshot for further reference. 
 
  
 
Additionally, We are unable to understand the requirement about restoring window state? Could you please share us some additional details about this requirement? It will be helpful for us to analyze and provide the solution at the earliest. 
 
Regards, 
Senthil
