TabItem

[Márcio Fábio Althmann]

Hello
In Visual Studio 2010 using WPF, the control RadTabControl not to create RadTabItem visually, is that normal? And when I click on a TabItem the editor, it does not exchange Tab Editor, I have to do it all in XAML without seeing how you're getting in the visual editor, it's normal?

Hello Márcio Fábio Althmann,

Unfortunately we don't support adding TabItems in the RadTabControl with the visual editor.
For now, you have to add them with XAML.
Better support for the visual editor of the Visual Studio 2010 is in our plans.

Any additional comments/suggestions are highly appreciated.

I seem to be experiencing this same problem.  I have a UserControl defined as follows:

<UserControl x:Class="TaskManager.UserControl1"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
             xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
             mc:Ignorable="d"
             d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300">
    <Grid>
        <telerik:RadTabControl>
            <telerik:RadTabItem Header="Tab One">
                <TextBlock Text="Hello Tab 1"/>
            </telerik:RadTabItem>
            <telerik:RadTabItem Header="Tab Two">
                <TextBlock Text="Hello Tab 2"/>
            </telerik:RadTabItem>
        </telerik:RadTabControl>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

In the designer, clicking on the tab header will not make the tab items switch.  "Tab One"'s content is always displayed although the header of Tab Two does show a focus border when you click on it.  See attached screen capture that shows the focus on the header of Tab Item 2 but the content of Tab Item 1 still showing.

The very strange thing about this is that if I create a new test project and put this user control into it, everything works fine.  I am at a loss as to what could be causing this behaviour. 

VS 2010 Ultimate.

Any ideas?

Hi Dave,

Can you check whether the folder that contains the referenced assemblies in your project, contains the design assemblies as well (you can find them in the Binaries folder of your installation in the design folder)? If it doesn't you should add them as well since they control the design time support of the RadControls. Give this a try and let us know if it helps.

Best wishes,
