How to open another window while hiding the root window?

[24ocsicnarf]

I have a root window in which the password will be entered. Then, the 'another' window will show up and the root window will be hidden for a while. When I close the 'another' window, the root window should show up again.

Thanks!

it's maybe late, and probably you've solved your issue, but I've done something similar with Navigation controller sample, try that...

You need some code, somewhere, which decides when to show and hide the different windows, and you need a way to tell it when e.g. the password has been entered.

This could be two ViewModels sending messages to each other through the EventAggregator (VM 1 sends "I've got a password" and hides itself; VM 2 gets this message and shows itself), or you could have a central service which they both talk to (VM 1 calls a method on the central service saying "I've got a password", and the central service tells VM 1 to hide itself and VM 2 to show itself).
