Hello,
I have not worked with pages too much, but it seems like you have to create three TextBoxes and three ComboBoxes, one for each page, and then bind them together so they all show the same value.
As far as I know you can not show the control as shared on each page.

Good luck! I hope this helps.

Hi,

First of all thanks for your concerned reply

I have 2 options in front of me - I dont know the possiblities of them
1) Share a Common TextBox and ComboBox between 3 pages  --- OR ----
2) Have Individual text box and comboboxes but the datasource/databinding set to one 

I haven't worked with databinding between pages
It will be great if I can have a sample  

Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

I'm just trying to figure out a general solution to this problem. Not finished yet, but I can tell you so much: forget solution 1), it won't work. What you want to do is solution 2), so you need some place where both pages can access the object you want to bind to. Although this is not ideal, you could create a static property in some class (e.g. the application class), and use something like DataContext="{x:Static myNamespace:Application.MySharedObject}" in order to access it.
