How to add the RadTabItem in the design ?

[Brew Hutch]

There is no the Add Tab menu when i right click on RadTabControl. What I'm doing now is to add the RadTabItem in the xaml code. Any suggestion?

Thanks,
Brew

Hello Brew,

Unfortunately the RadTabControl has limited design-time support at the moment and this is why in the VS Designer you can't add new TabItem from the context menu. But you can add new RadTabItems from the context menu of the RadTabControl in Expression Blend.

For the moment in VisualStudio you can create the new RadTabItems either by declaratively defining them in xaml or by dragging them from the ToolBox.

However, as the design-time support of the control definitely need to be improved, I logged a feature request in our PITS where you can vote for the item in order to increase its priority.
