I'm new to WPF and Netadvantage for WPF and need some advice. I have a GUI which uses the xamDockManager and a DocumentContentHost. So the user can pull out a tab and gets a floating window. So far so good.
I have all kind of different "dialogs" which should be displayed in the tabs. Tabs (and it's content) can be created and deleted, so the number of tabs is variable.
I would like to create the "dialogs" (which form the content of a tab) graphically using VS2008. Then I would need to plug in an instance of this "dialog" into user interface in form of a tab.
Can this be done?

Thanks for the encouraging answer. I meanwhile built a UserControl and it workes fine.
Not the exact same situation here, but I do use UserControls here in the manner described by Andrew and it works perfectly. In fact I have user controls each containing a dock manager, each of which has a number of user controls as the content of its panes. Not really helping here, save for confirming that the approach works great. :)
Thanks for the answer. That's probably the way to go. I guess there are no restrictions using the infragistics controls in a custom control.
I understand your situation, you can create UserControls so you have a design surface. Then create an instance of the usercontrol and add that to the dockmanager.
