Is there a way to display a message to the user when the bound collection is empty?
I was able to add a custom class to do this for the GridView, but I need to be able to do this with the Tab Control. Right now, it just appears to be blank and I'd like to display a message informing the user on how to create the collection.

Hi Rayne,

I am not sure I understand your scenario correctly and I might be missing in what environment you need to implement it. However, if you handle the RadTabControl.Loaded event you can display a message containing additional information about the ItemsSource collection of the control and how it can be defined:
private void RadTabControl_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    RadTabControl tabControl = sender as RadTabControl;
    if ((tabControl.ItemsSource as IList).Count == 0)
    {
        RadWindow.Alert("Enter ItemsSource");
    }
}
Is this close to what you have in mind?

All the best,
