Hello Alex,

I prepared a sample for you that shows how to use UserControls in the RadTabItem`s Content. Please examine it and let us know if it satisfies you.

Is there a way to programmatically add content to a RadTabItem as opposed to hard-coding it as it is done in the example?

So instead of:

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="LightGray">
        <telerik:RadTabControl x:Name="TabControl" telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Windows7">
            <telerik:RadTabItem Header="Tab 1">
                <local:TabPage></local:TabPage>
            </telerik:RadTabItem>
            <telerik:RadTabItem Header="Tab 2">
                <local:TabPage></local:TabPage>
            </telerik:RadTabItem>
        </telerik:RadTabControl>
</Grid>

Would there be a way to add in those "local" references via C# code?

Thanks!

TabControl.Items.Add(new RadTabItem()
{
    Header = "Tab Item 1",
    Content = new TabPage(),
});

TabControl.Items.Add(new RadTabItem()
{
    Header = "Tab Item 2",
    Content = new TabPage(),
});

Oh duh!

Thanks a bunch! I should have been able to pick up on that. Still pretty new to this stuff :)

Here is a slightly more complicated question.

I have a WCF service that returns an ObservableCollection. I'm able to easily set the DisplayMemberPath of each tab to the "name" field I'm returning in the collection. However, I want to be able to set the Content of EACH tab item to be my other XAML page like above. How can I achieve this?

Here's the code I have so far:

private void PopulateTabs()
{
            mphealthcareClient client = new mphealthcareClient();
            client.GetTabsCompleted += new EventHandler<GetTabsCompletedEventArgs>(client_GetTabsDataCompleted);
            client.GetTabsAsync();
}

void client_GetTabsDataCompleted(object sender, GetTabsCompletedEventArgs e)
{
            TabControl.ItemsSource = e.Result;
            TabControl.DisplayMemberPath = "MPT_NAME";
            //Need to set each tab's content to TabPage
}

Thanks in advance!

Check out this forum thread. It describes how to use ContentTemplate to set the content of the tab items. I think that should get you where you want.
