  Hi there,
  
  I have a dynamic collection which I bind to the tab control, however, I would also like to be able to enable / disable the tabs based on some criteria, however, I am unsure of what to  bind to so I Can disable tabbing to the control.
  
  I followed your basic demo for binding to a collection please see code below
  
  <Grid>
          <Grid.DataContext>
              <WpfApplication3:MainWindowViewModel/>
          </Grid.DataContext>
          <telerik:RadTabControl ItemsSource="{Binding People}" >
              <telerik:RadTabControl.ItemTemplate>
                  <DataTemplate>
                      <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"/>
                  </DataTemplate>
                 
              </telerik:RadTabControl.ItemTemplate>
              <telerik:RadTabControl.ContentTemplate>
                  <DataTemplate>
                      <TextBlock Text="{Binding Age}"/>
                  </DataTemplate>
              </telerik:RadTabControl.ContentTemplate>
          </telerik:RadTabControl>
      </Grid>
  
  Thanks

  Hi Asela,

   Supposing you are following the approach demonstrated in this help article, you can introduce boolean property in the Person class:

  public class Person

   {

       public Person(string name, int age)

       {

           this.Name = name;

           this.Age = age;

       }

       public string Name

       {

           get;

           set;

       }

       public int Age

       {

           get;

           set;

       }

   

       public bool Enabled { get; set; }

   }

  and bind it to the IsEnabled property of the corresponding RadTabItems via StyleBindings:
  

  <Grid.Resources>     

             <local:ViewModel x:Key="DataSource" />

              

             <Style TargetType="telerik:RadTabItem">

                 <Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="{Binding Enabled, Mode=TwoWay}" />

             </Style>

   

             <DataTemplate x:Key="ContentTemplate">

                 <Grid>

                     <TextBlock Text="{Binding Age}" />

                 </Grid>

             </DataTemplate>

   

             </Grid.Resources>

  You can find this realized in the attached solution. Please let us know if this is what you need. Greetings,
