RadTabItem.ContentTemplateSelector

[Shawn Shaddock]

I am trying to bind a collection of workspaces to the RadTabControl and use a DataTemplateSelector to choose the DataTemplate for the content based on which type of workspace is being rendered but the RadTabItem does not appear to use the DataTemplateSelector that I set. Here is an example of my code:

        <telerik:RadTabControl ItemsSource="{Binding Workspaces}">
            <telerik:RadTabControl.Resources>
                <Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:RadTabItem}">
                    <Setter Property="ContentTemplateSelector">
                        <Setter.Value>
                            <local:TabItemContentTemplateSelector />
                        </Setter.Value>
                    </Setter>
                </Style>
            </telerik:RadTabControl.Resources>
        </telerik:RadTabControl>

I put a breakpoint in the SelectTemplate method but it never reaches it.

Has anyone got this to work?

Hello Shawn,

This seems to be a bug from the RadTabControl. It does have a SelectedContent and SelectedContentTemplate properties but not SelectedContentTemplateSelector property, which is what is why it is not working in your case. We will be fixing this for a coming SP or internal build. I will follow up with a reply here once this has been fixed.

Hi Shawn,

I just wanted to follow up on this issue

Three properties has been added to the TabControl:  SelectedContentTemplateSelector, ContentTemplate and ContentTemplateSelector (for the items that do not have content set).

The changes will be available with the Beta release of the controls, expected in september.
