Displaying TabViewItem

To display a TabViewItem, you can add it to the Items collection of TabView or use the TabView ItemsSource.

Example

The following example shows how to add TabView items directly to the Items collection:

XAML
<telerik:RadTabView x:Name="tabView">
	<telerik:TabViewItem HeaderText="Home" />
	<telerik:TabViewItem HeaderText="Folder" />
	<telerik:TabViewItem HeaderText="View" />
</telerik:RadTabView>

Defining Content

You can define the content of a TabViewItem via its Content property or ContentTemplate property.

Example with Content Property

xaml
<telerik:RadTabView x:Name="tabView" AutomationId="tabView">
    <telerik:TabViewItem HeaderText="Home">
        <Label Margin="10" Text="This is the content of the Home tab" />
    </telerik:TabViewItem>
    <telerik:TabViewItem HeaderText="Folder">
        <Label Margin="10" Text="This is the content of the Folder tab" />
    </telerik:TabViewItem>
    <telerik:TabViewItem HeaderText="View">
        <Label Margin="10" Text="This is the content of the View tab" />
    </telerik:TabViewItem>
</telerik:RadTabView>

The TabView control displays only the content of the selected item.
