I am trying to use DataTemplates to bind a tab's Groups to a collection of ViewModels. For example, I was expecting the tab would have a "Groups" or "Items" collection which could be bound to my ITabViewModel.GroupViewModels, and based on the object type of each GroupViewModel (a ClipboardGroupVM, FontGroupVM, etc), WPF would use the appropriate DataTemplate which contains a Ribbon.Controls.Group.
...and/or...
Similarly I would like to bind the Ribbon.Tabs collection with a collection of ViewModels which (through DataTemplates) will turn into Ribbon.Controls.Tabs. The hope would be xaml something like this:where TabVMs is a collection of ViewModels like HomeTabVM, InsertTabVM, and so on.
But Tabs is apparently not a DependencyProperty and so can't be bound.
Is there some other mechanism for generating ribbon tabs and/or groups dynamically using MVVM?
