Answer 1

For thoose who want to know how to make the scrollviewer scroll to the selected tab item.

Add this event SelectionChanged="TabControl_SelectionChanged" to your TabControl.

Then give a name like TabControlScroller to the ScrollViewer inside the template. You should end with something like this

Then in code behind you just have to add this method :

private void TabControl_SelectionChanged(object sender, System.Windows.Controls.SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    TabControl tabControl = (TabControl)sender;
    ScrollViewer scroller = (ScrollViewer)tabControl.Template.FindName("TabControlScroller", tabControl);
    if (scroller != null)
    {
        double index = (double)(tabControl.SelectedIndex );
        double offset = index * (scroller.ScrollableWidth / (double)(tabControl.Items.Count));
        scroller.ScrollToHorizontalOffset(offset);
    }
}
