Currently, I am working with RadNavigationView but I feel like I don't need dynamically bound DataContext because each settings tab would be different with various buttons. I tried RadTabControl but it isn't exactly what I'm going for style-wise. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Here is what I'm referencing.
The closest control that we provide to the shared image is the RadNavigationView control, which you have already reviewed.
To achieve this behavior, you could define different UserControls and change the Content property of RadNavigationView depending on its SelectedItem property. A similar approach is shown in the First Look example for the RadNavigationView control in our Demos application, which can be downloaded from the following link:
Telerik WPF controls examples, WPF code examples, WPF applications
Could you give this suggestion a try?
