WPF and the tab control

[the_developer]

I am about dead certain that in VB Express 2008 that I was able to have multiple tabs. And, on each tab I put controls. I could also click on a tab and see the controls only on that tab.

I am now in Visual Studio Pro and I cannot for the life of me look at what is on a specific tab. Only the first tab wants to shows its controls.

Does anyone know how to enable the environment to allow me to view the controls on different tabs?!

I assume that you are talking about working in the XAML Design view? One way to switch tabs is to set the SelectedIndex of the TabControl in the Properties window.

I'm having this same problem, but it's very strange -- I have to use SelectedIndex at work to change tabs (VS Pro), but at home I have an installation of VS Team and I can click on the tabs to automatically switch TabItems. I wonder if it's a subtle difference between the two versions?

Maybe, I don't know for sure. I'm running VS 2008 Development Edition version 9.0.30729.1 for what it's worth.
