tabcontrol

I set the Background color of the tabitem in the xaml to RED, but when i run it and hover over it or select it it changes back the the default greyish looking. It only shows correctly when the other tabitem is selected. How do i keep it RED all the time. Thanks! Eugene Cheverda Here is example of TabItem ControlTemplate Copy it to your resources and set wherever you need Red color as Background. SAMPLE <Window x:Class="TestCustomTab.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="300"

I would like to know how to select a specific TabItem in a WPF TabControl. I tried these bellow but nothing work! MyTabControl.SelectedIndex = x MyTabControl.SelectedItem = MyTabItem MyTabControl.SelectedValue = MyTabItem MyTabItem.IsSelected = True As @Chris says, any of the first three things should work and as @Phyxx says, it doesn't always really work. The problem is some subtle thing about the order of property changes. To work around it you need to let the WPF invoke your tab-selection code in its own time: Dispatcher.BeginInvoke((Action)(() => MyTabControl.SelectedIndex = x)); This does

I'm trying to build a WPF user interface containing a TabControl, and a TextBlock. I want to bind these two controls to an underlying collection of instances of the following class: class PageModel { public string Title {get;set;} public string TabCaption {get;set;} public FrameworkElement TabContent {get;set} } The tab control should display a tab for each PageModel. Each tab's header should display the TabCaption property Each tab's content should be the TabContent property. The TextBlock should display the Title of the currently selected tab. How can I achieve this result? Kent Boogaart

I'm trying to style a TabControl and have got 75% of the way there, but I'm having difficulty styling the actual TabItems: What I am trying to achieve is remove the default ContentPresenter so that I can make the tab items partially transparent with rounded edges instead of the place holder red and green i have now. I'm sure it's probably not that difficult, but I just can't figure it out so any help would be most appreciated! Here's the XAML for the TabControl so far: <TabControl TabStripPlacement="Left" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" BorderBrush="#41020202"> <TabControl.BitmapEffect>

In wpf I setup a tab control that binds to a collection of objects each object has a data template with a data grid presenting the data. If I select a particular cell and put it into edit mode, leaving the grid by going to another tab this will cause the exception below to be thrown on returning the datagrid: 'DeferRefresh' is not allowed during an AddNew or EditItem transaction. It appears that the cell never left edit mode. Is there an easy way to take the cell out of edit mode, or is something else going on here? Update: It looks like if I do not bind the tab control to the data source, but

I have a TabControl within a TabControl. I want the outer TabControl to show its tabs on the left. However, with Visual Styles enabled, left-aligned TabControls don't display properly. Can I disable Visual Styles for just the outer TabControl? I'm aware of the third-party TabControl replacements - that's not what I'm after. Add a new class to your project and paste the code shown below. Build. Drop the new control from the top of the toolbox onto your form. Visual styles of the child controls are preserved. using System; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; public
