How to Place Items in TabControl: WPF

How to Place Items in TabControl: WPF

In our previous post, we have learnt about tab control and place some tabs into that control. In this post we will place a container, means we will place a simple entry form into a tab item. As we all know the entry form can contain name, age, address or some more basic information about a person.

So I am taking only name and age here as for example. Just write the following code in our XAML code window:
<TabControl Name="tabControl" Margin="5">
<TabItem Header="Entry Form Tab">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="100"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="200"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="30"/>
<RowDefinition Height="30"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Label Content="Name"/>
<Label Content="Age" Grid.Row="1"/>

<TextBox Margin="2" Grid.Column="1"></TextBox>
<TextBox Margin="2" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1"></TextBox>
</Grid>
</TabItem>
</TabControl>


Just run the code and a tab control is placed on our window with an entry form. The form will look like the following image:

So we have simply placed an entry form into tab item. We can set anything as the content property of tab item, just as above code.

In the above code, i have modify only a single tab item for example. If you need more tabs then you can modify as many tabs as you want to.
