How can I know when all tabs are loaded?

[C Bates]

Hello --
We have a RadTabControl with an arbitrary number of RadTabItems.  When our application starts, how can we know all the tab items are completely displayed so we can set a specific tab as the selected item?
Thanks for any advice...

Hi C Bates,

You can use the Loaded event of the RadTabControl. Basically, after the currently selected tab (by default it is the first one initially) is loaded, first the Loaded event of the tabControl is fired, then the Loaded event of the current tab is fired. Then on every selection change (no matter whether you select a previously selected tabitem or not) only the Loaded event of the TabItem fires.

<telerik:RadTabControl x:Name="tabControl"  Loaded="RadTabControl_Loaded" />

public MainPage()
     {
         InitializeComponent();
         this.tabControl.ItemsSource = Enumerable.Range(0, 1000).Select(x => "item" + x);
     }
     private void RadTabControl_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
     {
         this.tabControl.SelectedItem = this.tabControl.Items[997];
     }

Let us know if this fits in your scenario.

All the best,
