ScreenBase

You can organize and instantiate your ViewModels and Movies by using screens.

In order to prevent any issues, it is recommended that you use the template below when creating your screens.

public class MyExampleScreen : ScreenBase
{

    private MyExampleVM _dataSource;
    private GauntletLayer _gauntletLayer;
    private GauntletMovie _movie;

    protected override void OnInitialize()
    {
        base.OnInitialize();
        _dataSource = new MyExampleVM();
        _gauntletLayer = new GauntletLayer(100)
        {
            IsFocusLayer = true
        };
        AddLayer(_gauntletLayer);
        _gauntletLayer.InputRestrictions.SetInputRestrictions();
        _movie = _gauntletLayer.LoadMovie("MyExampleMovie", _dataSource);
    }

    protected override void OnActivate()
    {
        base.OnActivate();
        ScreenManager.TrySetFocus(_gauntletLayer);
    }

    protected override void OnDeactivate()
    {
        base.OnDeactivate();
        _gauntletLayer.IsFocusLayer = false;
        ScreenManager.TryLoseFocus(_gauntletLayer);
    }

    protected override void OnFinalize()
    {
        base.OnFinalize();
        RemoveLayer(_gauntletLayer);
        _dataSource = null;
        _gauntletLayer = null;
    }
}

Pushing your Screen

To push your screen onto the screen stack, you can do following:

ScreenManager.PushScreen(ViewCreatorManager.CreateScreenView<MyExampleScreen>());
