WPF Windows to Tabs

Question

I have an already made WPF application which is Windowed based and now I wish to implement tabbed controls instead of each of those separate windows. What would be the easiest and fastest way to reuse?

Thanks

Typically when I want to convert, I take the contents of each Window (which is usually wrapped in a Grid) and I convert them to a UserControl. You can basically move the entire Xaml and code-behind almost as-is, with only minor tweaks.

You then replace your Window contents with the UserControl, and you can reuse the same UserControl in a tab, or anywhere else.
