# Callback expectations

A view model that needs to intercept state view changes can implement an interface that declares which are the required callback(s), the supported interfaces are:

* IExpectViewLoadedCallback;
* IExpectViewActivatedCallback;
* IExpectViewShownCallback;
* IExpectViewClosingCallback;
* IExpectViewClosedCallback;

All those interfaces are pretty trivial and does not require any further explanation other then the following sample:

```csharp
class SampleViewModel : IExpectViewLoadedCallback
{
    void IExpectViewLoadedCallback.OnViewLoaded()
    {
        //code to handle the View Loaded event
    }
}
```

The only “special” one is the `IExpectViewClosingCallback` that allows the `ViewModel` to ask to the `View` to stop the closing process:

```csharp
class ChildViewModel : AbstractViewModel, IExpectViewClosingCallback
{
    void IExpectViewClosingCallback.OnViewClosing( CancelEventArgs e )
    {
        //blocks the view closing process
        e.Cancel = true;
    }
}
```

Those interfaces are designed to let the `ViewModel` intercept the state changes of **its own** `View` not of other views, the default way to intercept state changes of other views is to use the `MessageBroker`.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.radicalframework.com/release-2/presentation/iview-resolver/view-life-cycle-events/callback-expectations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
