TabControl

xDockTab is used as the root/parent of the main module and anytime a tabItem may be docked.

xTabControl is more lightweight. It can be used with the option “ShowTabs” on false to overlay panels.

Both controls trigger the same events: TabChanging, tabChanged, have selectedIndex, selectedItem etc.

The following example shows how to display a certain control (in this case DataGrid), depending on the value of a RadioButton.

• Add TabControl on the Grid

• Add one TabItem for each control (DataGrid) that wants to be displayed.

• Hide (if needed) Tab Headers by unchecking ShowTabs option

• Make TabControl visible according to selected RadioButton-value

public override void ItemChanged(UIElement container, FrameworkElement element, object selectedItem, object newValue, object oldValue)
{
    base.ItemChanged(container, element, selectedItem, newValue, oldValue);

    //Rows can be added to the grid -> Save before change tab
    if (element == rbgBezogen)
    {
        switch (rbgBezogen.Value.ToInt())
        {
            case 10:
                BusObj.Save();
                tabControl.SelectedItem = tabArt;
                break;
            case 20:
                BusObj.Save();
                tabControl.SelectedItem = tabGP;
                break;
        }
    }
}
