Well here's the thing.

I've been working on an IDE and now to implement the AvalonDock I must use WPF so I migrate the hole project to be compatible. But I've got a problem that I can't solve.

I got all the documents on an ObservableCollection(Of DocumentViewModel) called 'Documents', I access to this collection almost every time due the fact this is where I store user defined functions, errors, etc.
The thing is that with AvalonDock I must use a template, here's where I create 'DocumentView' with is the control that holds the Syntax Editor (ScintillaNet).
Now my question is, how to indicate the app with of the items inside 'Documents' he should use as a datacontext for each opened document?

Hmmm how to explain this in a better way?

Let's say I've a collection with all my documents, this is ussed by AvalonDock to create/destroy new 'tabs' on the screen. Beside this collection, each of this 'tabs' edit his own datacontext.
Both the collection and each of the datacontext's have the same type, but I need to bind the datacontext of each 'tab' with 'the right one' in the collection, so I can access the info I proccess and store there from other modules of the app.

Hope it's more clear now.

Using Scintilla in WPF sounds quite questionable to me. Why not using AvalonEdit instead? Please see this CodeProject article:
Using AvalonEdit (WPF Text Editor)[^].
