I have a parent window that loads a usercontrol inside a ContentControl. The parent window has a ToolBar with some buttons (i.e. Save button). I’d like to assign those buttons commands that would be handled inside the usercontrol.

I need to manage my own ICommand commands from the usercontrol’s ViewModel so, to summarize: The user clicks on the “Save” button (on the main window) so the button fires an event which the userControl handles to save the information within the control.

Is this possible?

    Well after a while I come back to this question. I needed to communicate with my parent window so i decided to perform the view-viewmodel datacontext binding right from the parent window, mainly because I want the child viewmodel to attach to events fired from its parent and also I can fire events to the parent in order to show messages outside the child control.

    I know I may not be using the MVVM pattern completly but I wanted to have more control over these features.
