Turning off virtualization when bound to tab control items source

[Igor Stefanovic]

I am using tab control in main window to dynamically load content in tab items. I am doing this by binding collection of my page view models to the items source of the tab control. Everything works fine except it seams like view of my page models is reloading each time I select another tab and then return to one I just left. I suppose this is related to virtualization.

Problem with this is that switching tabs can be slow or unresponsive and also all property changes on the view not bind to view model are lost when you switch tab.

Is it possible to change this behavior and make tab content static?

Hello Igor,

We had such requests before so we introduced a new property called IsContentPreserved. Please take a look at this help article for further information and let me know if you encounter any problems.
