//If you need only the ListView in here, you don't need a grid

tabItem.Content = listView;
//Add the finished tabItem to your TabControl
tabControl1.Items.Add(tabItem);

== Creating a Window ==
var window = new Window();
var stackPanel = new StackPanel { Orientation = Orientation.Vertical };
stackPanel.Children.Add(new Label { Content = "Label" });
stackPanel.Children.Add(new Button { Content = "Button" });
window.Content = stackPanel;
