I have filling that I'm using wrong scenario because I don't have idea how to reuse XAML code for example an Menu controll, StatusBar and ToolBar for all pages.

You need ContentControl. It changes view based on ViewModel. Place your static elements in one place and in changeable area a ContenControl object. More here and here.

One idea is you have a PageViewModelBase that implement a base virtual Property and Methods for Menu and StatusBar model and ... Then Each PageViewModel Override proper implementation of PageViewModelBase, Then Window contains Menu or StatusBar that Bind to DataContext of Pages.
