First of all, nice demo!

Second of all, I have been trying to port this demo to a WPF application and I've stumbled into a HeaderInfo issue. I am setting the HeaderInfo property as in the demo, and then I am creating either an ItemTemplate or as in the demo an ItemContainerStyle where I set either the HeaderTemplate or the Header property. Nothing works!

I used this:

 <TabControl.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="TabItem">
<Setter Property="Header" Value="{Binding Path=HeaderInfo,Mode=OneWay,FallbackValue='Error!'}"/>
</Style>
</TabControl.ItemContainerStyle>

Every attempt "Error!" is displayed. I tried binding to . (dot) to see what the DataContext was, but again, error was displayed. What am I doing wrong?! And please escuse the noobicity of this question, this is my first WPF app, but puh-lease, someone answer this!

Could you please provide the source code, or at least the bits that you pasted in? (the style resources). Thanks.

 

Later Edit:

I found that codeplex had a link to the source code for the series: Here it is: http://compositewpf.codeplex.com/Project/Download/FileDownload.aspx?DownloadId=60148

I got a similar problem when trying to follow this demo. In my experiment with the original Silverlight demo the binding on the tab control header does not work. I could only user static texts on the header using the TabControlRegionAdapter, and once I use binding the tab control header shows nothing.

 

I am also wondering what might be the cause of this problem.
