how to Add custom Convention for caliburn.micro?

Solution

I'm using this Convention in my project without any issues. Here is a walkthrough:

In the `AppBootstrapper.cs` you include the Element Convention among other given Conventions

private static void AddCustomConventions()
{
    ConventionManager.AddElementConvention<FrameworkElement>(Control.VisibilityProperty, "Visibility", "IsVisible");
    var baseBindProperties = ViewModelBinder.BindProperties;
    ViewModelBinder.BindProperties = (frameWorkElements, viewModel) =>
    {
        BindVisiblityProperties(frameWorkElements, viewModel);
        return baseBindProperties(frameWorkElements, viewModel);
    };
}

and your helper method:

private static void BindVisiblityProperties(IEnumerable<FrameworkElement> items, Type viewModel)
{
    foreach (FrameworkElement element in items)
    {
        string PropertyName = element.Name + "IsVisible";
        var property = viewModel.GetPropertyCaseInsensitive(PropertyName);
        if (property != null)
        {
            var convention = ConventionManager.GetElementConvention(typeof(FrameworkElement));
            ConventionManager.SetBindingWithoutBindingOverwrite(
                viewModel, PropertyName, property, element, convention, convention.GetBindableProperty(element));
        }
    }
}

In your `PageView.xaml` you place your Controls and provide a `x:Name`

<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
    <Button x:Name="StartRecord">start</Button>
    <Button x:Name="StopRecord">stop</Button>
    <Button x:Name="Foo">foo</Button>
    <Button x:Name="Bar">bar</Button>
</StackPanel>

within your `PageViewModel.cs` you place a `public property` of type `bool` with the suffix IsVisible

public bool FooIsVisible { get { return true; } }

public bool BarIsVisible { get { return false; } }
