Caliburn.micro open window by clicking button

I have two Views (windows) and their associated ViewModels. The first one, ShellView and the second one, CreatePersonView. What I'd like to is when I click on a button in the ShellView it opens up the CreatePersonView in a new window. When this window get closed, the parent should execute some tasks.

Thanks for your help.

You can achieve this with EventAggregator and Window Manager

Step 1: Invoke CreatePerson window on button click.

public void PersonClick() => _windowManager.ShowDialog(_createPersonVM);

WindowManager should be imported in the constructor of ShellViewModel.

Step 2: Continue task in Shell when CreatePersonView is closed. You need use event aggregator for this.

 public void CloseEvent() => _eventAggregator.PublishOnUIThread(new CloseMsg() {Message = "Hey closed"});

The ShellViewModel needs to subscribe to eventaggregator of CloseMsg (IHandle).

This will help you achieve your goal.

Let me know if you need further clarification. Can share the complete code.
