Creating tabs in WinRT

Creating tabs in WinRT

In WinRT, you can create tabs by using the TabControl control. Here's an example XAML code snippet that shows how to create a TabControl with two tabs:

<TabControl>
    <TabItem Header="Tab 1">
        <Grid>
            <!-- Content for Tab 1 -->
        </Grid>
    </TabItem>
    <TabItem Header="Tab 2">
        <Grid>
            <!-- Content for Tab 2 -->
        </Grid>
    </TabItem>
</TabControl>

In this example, the TabControl control contains two TabItem elements, each representing a tab. The Header property of each TabItem is set to a string value that represents the tab title. The Grid element within each TabItem represents the content of the tab.

You can add more TabItem elements to the TabControl to create additional tabs. You can also customize the appearance of the tabs by modifying the TabControl's TabStripPlacement, TabStripBackground, TabStripForeground, and TabStripPlacement properties.

You can also handle the SelectionChanged event of the TabControl to perform an action when a tab is selected. For example, you can update the content of the selected tab based on user input or load data asynchronously when the tab is selected.
