These are my Classes:
class mainViewModel
{
public List<Foo> F { get; set; }
public mainViewModel()
{
F=new List<Foo>()
{
new Foo(new Animal(){Name = "Cat"}),
new Foo(new Animal(){Name = "Dog"}),
new Foo(new Animal(){Name = "Camel"})
};
}
}
public class Foo
{
public Animal Animal { get; set; }
public Foo(Animal animal)
{
Animal = animal;
}
}
public class Animal
{
public string Name { get; set; }
}
And This is my MainWindow Xaml Code:
<TabControl ItemsSource="{Binding Path=F}">
<TabControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Animal.Name}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</TabControl.ItemTemplate>
<TabControl.ContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="Something 1"/>
</DataTemplate>
</TabControl.ContentTemplate>
</TabControl>
Now obviously I will have a TabControl
with one page for each Item in the List F
and all the TabControl
pages have a TextBlock
Something 1 as shown here:
what I want is to design just one of the pages. say add new button
to the Camel page named Something 3.
As per the above comments:
Create a specific ViewModel class for each Tab:
public class Tab1: ViewModelBase
{
//... functionality, properties, etc
}
public class Tab2: ViewModelBase
{
//... functionality, properties, etc
}
public class Tab3: ViewModelBase
{
//... functionality, properties, etc
}
Then Create a specific View (usually in the form of UserControls) for each:
<UserControl x:Class"UserControl1" ...>
<!-- UI Elements, etc -->
</UserControl>
<UserControl x:Class"UserControl2" ...>
<!-- UI Elements, etc -->
</UserControl>
<UserControl x:Class"UserControl3" ...>
<!-- UI Elements, etc -->
</UserControl>
Then create DataTemplates
for each ViewModel Type and put these UserControls
inside them:
Edit: These should be defined in App.xaml
under Application.Resources
:
<Application ....>
<Application.Resources>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:ViewModel1}">
<local:UserControl1/>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:ViewModel2}">
<local:UserControl2/>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type local:ViewModel3}">
<local:UserControl2/>
</DataTemplate>
</Application.Resources>
</Application>
Finally, put an ObservableCollection<ViewModelBase>
in your main ViewModel and add these Items:
public ObservableCollection<ViewModelBase> Tabs {get;set;} //Representing each Tab Item
public MainViewModel() //Constructor
{
Tabs = new ObservableCollection<ViewModelBase>();
Tabs.Add(new ViewModel1());
Tabs.Add(new ViewModel2());
Tabs.Add(new ViewModel2());
}
