    Step 2 of 4: Adding Tab Pages
    In This Topic

    In the last step, you created a WPF or Silverlight project in Visual Studio and then added a C1TabControl control with three tabs to it. In this step, you will customize each tab page.

    Complete the following steps:

    1. Switch to XAML view.
    2. Add Header="Tab 1" to the first <c1:C1TabItem> tag so that the markup resembles the following:
    XAML
    Copy Code
    <c1:C1TabItem Header="Tab 1"/>
    
    1. Add Header="Tab 2" and Content="I am the Content property set to a string" to the second <c1:C1TabItem> tag so that the markup resembles the following:
    XAML
    Copy Code
    <c1:C1TabItem Header="Tab 2" Content="I am the Content property set to a string"/>
    
    1. Add Header="Tab 3", Content="You can't close this tab. Try it.", and CanUserClose="False" to the third <c1:C1TabItem> tag so that the markup resembles the following:
    XAML
    Copy Code
    <c1:C1TabItem Header="Tab 3" Content="You can't close this tab. Try it." CanUserClose="False"/>
    

    Setting the CanUserClose property to False prevents users from closing the tab at run time.

    1. Add a Calendar control to the first tab by completing the following steps:
      1. Switch to Design view and select the first tab.
      2. In the Toolbox, double-click the Calendar icon to add the Calendar control to the tab.
      3. Select the Calendar control and then set the following properties:
        • Set the Height property to "Auto".
        • Set the Width property to "Auto".

    You have completed step 2 of 4. In this step, you customized the three pages of the C1TabControl control. In the next step, you'll customize the appearance and behavior of the C1TabControl control.
