Hello all,

I would like to bind a TabControl to User Controls in order to have each User Control in a TabItem.

Is this possible, knowing the TabControl is itself in a UserControl ?

Thanks

Do you want to customize the tabitem?

Yes, I've already removed the header of the TabItems

The aim is not really to design the appearance of the TabControl but to display in a TabControl, User Controls that other people develop.

Curtis Wheller 24-Apr-13 4:02am

Yes, it is exactly that.

You can add the usercontrol as a tabItem itself like

HTML

<tabitem header="My TabItem1">
        <local:tabusercontrol1 xmlns:local="#unknown" />
</tabitem>
<tabitem header="My TabItem2">
        <local:tabusercontrol2 xmlns:local="#unknown" />
</tabitem>

or add multiple datatemplates to the tabcontrol...

Indeed it's a good idea to add the usercontrol as tabitem. But how can I bind the different tab item to the tabcontrol ? Actually, it's another person who will create the list of usercontrol, and he uses my usercontrol, that contains the tabcontrol, as a library. So he can't modify the code of the tabcontrol.

In that case, you can add the tabitems dynamically to the tabcontrol...
TabItem item1 = new TabItem();
item1.Header = "Header1";
item1.Content = new MyUserControl();
tabcontrol.Items.Add(item1);
