# Step 2: Adding Tab Pages

## Content



In the last step, you created a WPF 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:

```xml
<c1:C1TabItem Header="Tab 1"/>
```

3.  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:

```xml
<c1:C1TabItem Header="Tab 2" Content="I am the Content property set to a string"/>
```

4.  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:

```xml
<c1:C1TabItem Header="Tab 3" Content="You can't close this tab. Try it." CanUserClose="False"/>
```

Setting the [CanUserClose](/componentone/api/wpf/online-tabcontrol5/dotnet-api/C1.WPF.TabControl/C1.WPF.TabControl.C1TabItem.CanUserClose.html) property to False prevents users from closing the tab at run time.

5.  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.
