title: How to focus a Pivot on a specific PivotItem from the ViewModel with Caliburn
body: <p>Using the Caliburn MVVM pattern for an Universal App (WP8.1 project) I want, from code, to focus a PivotPage on a specific PivotItem, from the Caliburn ModelView of that page. Note that sometime I am not interested to use the Conductor class because all the PivotItems of MyPivot page have a common DataSource so I think that in this case it is useless to have multiple ViewModel for each PivotItem.</p>
  
  <p>What I want to do in MyPivotViewModel is what it should be done in the code-behind in that way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        pvMyPivot.SelectedIndex = 2;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or  </p>
  
  <pre><code>        pvMyPivot.SelectedItem = Pivot2Name;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any suggestion and example code is appreciated ;-)</p>
