"igRibbon:ContextualTabGroup" does not appear to have a DataContext. I would like for all of my RibbonTabItems contained by each ContextualTabGroup to share the same DataContext. What is the best way to do that?
Hello Wayne,
Thank you for your post. I have been looking into it and if the DataContext of the RibbonTabItems in the ContextualTabGroup is not set, the RibbonTabItems has the same DataContext as the XamRibbon. If you wish to have the same DataContext for each RibbonTabItem in the ContextualTabGroup, I can suggest setting the DataContext of the XamRibbon. I have created a sample application for you, that demonstrates how you can use one DataCotnext for the ContextualTabGroups and different for a RibbonTabItem of the XamRibbon.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance on the matter.
Sincerely,

My reason in wanting to set the Contextual Tab Group DataContext is because I want it to have a different DataContext than the XamRibbon. Would it be possible to have the DataContext Dependency Property added to ContextualTabGroup?
Other than the implementation of the PI, I think I'm set. Thanks for checking back.
I am just checking if you require any further assistance on the matter.
Thank you for your reply. I have been looking into it and since the ContextualTabGroup does not derive from the FrameworkElement class, it does not currently expose a DataContext property.
