new radgridview from code behind

[Anthony]

is it possible to add a radgridview control to a tabcontrol/tabitem programmatically? i need to dynamically create tabs and then populate them with a grid that has a radgridview, radchart, etc.

i can't figure out how to do this, so i'm starting to think it isn't possible. if that's the case, is there a way to somehow template the tabs in xaml so i can simply instantiate them in code behind and the structure is already built?

Hi,

Everything you can do in XAML, you can also implement in code.
You can create RadGridView in code similar to:

RadGridView grid = new RadGridView();

grid.ItemsSource = model.Clubs;

// Columns will be auto generated foreach property of the bound business objects (of type Club)

// You can also add other columns through grid.Columns collection

GridViewDataColumn column = new GridViewDataColumn();

grid.Columns.Add(column);

 
// Configure other settings

grid.Name = "clubsGrid1";

// Add RadGridView to the Grid defined in Xaml


this.LayoutRoot.Children.Add(grid);

// Set the proper RowDefinition if needed


Grid.SetRow(grid, 2);

LayoutRoot is an instance of WPF Grid.

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">...</Grid>

You can also check the How to create a Grid in WPF Dynamically blog post.

As to your question on TabItems, I would suggest you to post them in the respective forums.
