tabitem

If what you want to do is simply make the code more manageable then I would recommend defining each tab's data in a user control, but still have the TabItem in the

I have a tabbed GUI with each tab containing a Frame. In one of these Frames there is a DataGrid. When the user selects this tab, I need my datagrid sorted, so I'm using the TabControl SelectionChanged event to trigger the sort.

The TabControl.SelectionChanged is the same event as a ComboBox
