Cimbalino appbar, pivot with UserControls

Question

Ok, another question about Cimbalino appbar.

I have a pivot with several pages as UserControls. What i want is to have different appbars for every UC (page). But i can't define appbar inside UC, because that throws exception "This ApplicationBarBehavior element can only be attached to the LayoutRoot element", but root is Pivot itself.

PS: definitely i'd like to use mvvm way, and keep appbar in UC's viewmodels, not switching through SelectedIndex in Pivot's codebehind.

Ah, looking like MultiApplicationBarBehavior is to the resque. http://www.pedrolamas.com/2013/03/11/cimbalino-windows-phone-toolkit-multiapplicationbarbehavior/

Though, i'm not sure that it is 100% usefull: it is binded to index, but what if i'd like to switch some pages?

If you need I have a sample on how to use it the MVVM'ed way! – Pedro Lamas Apr 28 '13 at 11:41
Sure, i'd like to check that. I really dont like this binding to pivot index. – Vitalii Vasylenko Apr 29 '13 at 06:16
Oh, I didn't notice you mentioning the Pivot Index... because my solution is currently based on it also! :\ – Pedro Lamas Apr 29 '13 at 18:44
Yeah, appbar is working nice, in general :) Except that thing, that its hard-binded to index. It is solved in sh appbar (in case you're interested): http://shwp.codeplex.com/ – Vitalii Vasylenko Apr 29 '13 at 18:54
@PedroLamas Hi, any news about pivot index binding? – Vitalii Vasylenko Sep 29 '13 at 14:40
