What you'll learn
This course will focus on using the TabControl as a Prism region. We will identify and solve common issues such as data binding to the TabItem header as well as how to control how TabItems are created. We will see how to extend the functionality of a TabItem without inheritance or custom controls to support being closed from a UI button located in the TabItem header. This course will also show advanced navigation scenarios when using the TabControl as a region by extending Prism to add support for scoped regions in the navigation framework.
