HiI wish to use either xamOutlook bar or xamRibbon in combination with TabControl. A master detail implementation. Is it possible to hide the actual tabs themselves. Or is there better control to use other than the xamTabControl? Hope that makes sense. To further explain. I wish to have the behavior of having the detail panels change depending on what the user is trying to do.
Thanks
Hi,
I am just checking if you got this worked out or you still require any assistance or clarification on the matter.

Hello Chris,
I have been investigating your issue for quite some time now and think have finally found what is causing this. This is all related to the specific nature of the TabControls. It turns out that when it detects different tabs with the same layout, as when you are using ContentTemplate, it actually reuses their elements. In reusing the SelectedGroup property I even tested it out with the MS tab control to double check .
I managed to overcome it by explicitly setting different instances of the xamOutLookBarControl in the different XamTabItems. I have also created a sample project for you (TabControls_OutlookBar.zip), that works as you expected it. This seems like your best option so far.
Please let me know if you require any further assistance on the matter.

Hi Petar,
This does not help me a lot as even without having binding for selectedgroup when the control is used in said manner it shouild by deault show the first element selected and not fail on group selection change. It is surely failing even if i establish the binding for SelectedGroup with a property in the VM.
If this is what you were looking for please verify the answer so it helps other users as well.

I have been looking though your sample for quite some time and though there was a binding form the view model to your NavigatiopnControl I wasn’t able to find a binding between you user control and the XamOutlookBar you are using in it to determine its SectedGroup property. Adding such a connection should solve your issue.
Please let me know if I can assist you further on this matter.
