DataTemplate only specify binding not the type
I have this bit of code where I have a List of wrapped child classes. I want to specify that the ContentTemplate binds directly to the child class and not the wrapper class. My question is how can I specify the binding, without specifying the type (as this gets resolved by a datatemplate in my app.xaml).
The Code:
<TabControl Name="tc_TabItems"
Grid.Column="2"
Grid.ColumnSpan="3"
ItemsSource="{Binding Value.CheckedItems}"
SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedItem}">
<TabControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vms:CommandsViewModel}">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Value.Name}"/>
</DataTemplate>
</TabControl.ItemTemplate>
</TabControl>
The App.xaml:
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type commandBaseModels:MotionCommandViewModel}">
<commandBase:MotionCommandView/>
</DataTemplate>
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type commandBaseModels:NonMotionCommandViewModel}">
<commandBase:NonMotionCommandView/>
</DataTemplate>
For the header of the tab you can see I bind the text to the child class, but I manually set a textblock, Im basically looking to do the same thing but not specify what control to be put there. like so
<TabControl.ContentTemplate Binding="{Value}"/>
c# wpf mvvm data-binding

I guess I forgot that ContentPresenter was a thing, but it ended up allowing me to get what I was looking for
