TabView with Pages

[rdeveen]

The Xamarin Forms TabbedPage has the Children collection where you can add a IList of Page as children of the tabbed page. This way you can separate the "tabs" from the content in seperated xaml files. Would love to use the XCT TabView because of the customizations and badges. Add the moment the XCT TabView does not support to have TabViewItem of type Page.

Example:

        <xct:TabView>
                <xct:TabViewItem
                    Icon="triangle.png"
                    Text="Tab 1">
                    <views:FirstPage />
                </xct:TabViewItem>

                <xct:TabViewItem
                    Icon="circle.png"
                    Text="Tab 2">
                    <views:SecondPage />
                </xct:TabViewItem>
        </xct:TabView>

Hmm, #905

The TabView is making use of the CarrouselView to display the Views. The original Xamarin Forms TabbedPage derives from the abstract MultiPage class and allows navigation among child pages using tabs. These component looks in first sight the same but are therefore really different. I think the TabView customizations can't be reused for the TabbedPage as is. Maybe creating a XCT TabbedPage or is that to much effort?
