Get WPF TabItem container from UserControl

Question

I am setting the content of a UserControl, SIASystemTab, to a TabItem, ConfigTab. How do you access the TabItem from the UserControl using code behind? I would like to reuse the methods in the TabItem from multiple UserControls.

var subSystem = new SIASystemTab(opCo);
var configTab = new ConfigTab()
{
    Header = "New Header*",
    Content = subSystem
};

Answer 1

One simple way is to create a property in SIASystemTab like this

    public ConfigTab myConfigTab {get; set;}

Then assign the ConfigTab instance to this property

   subSystem.myConfigTab = configTab;

Later on u can use this as per your need
