Hello All,

     I'm trying the tabcontrol for the first time, and  am very curious as to do I create a new view/viewmodel pair for each tab or handle everything in the first pair where the overall top tabcontrol is based???  I think that I would like to have separate ones for ease in development but I haven't figured out as to how to assign them to the tab items...  Or is it just better to have in all in one?

 

What am I missing?  

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Kevin Orcutt

Hello Kevin,

Thank you for your interest in RadTabControl for WPF.

Determining whether to use a single view model or define a separate one for each RadTabItem depends on the exact project needs. I cannot confirm which would be the better approach. However, if you plan to operate with various data source, having a separate view model might be a more reasonable solution. A possible approach for this would be to have a main view model which holds an instance of each separate view model. Then, you should be able to set the DataContext of each RadTabItem to be the needed view model.

Hopefully, this helps.
