What properties should I set for archiving one of the projects above? For the second project, I tried to configure the HorizontalAlignment ("center") property in the TabItem objects and the HorizontalContentAglinment property (to the "center") in the TabControl object, but it does not work.

Can someone indicate what I should do to implement the design? I prefer the first design, but if it is impossible or very difficult, the second will also be pleasant.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Tabs organized by TabControl HeaderPanel. You need to replace the HeaderPanel to change the layout. It seems that the only way to do this is with the ControlTemplate. Here is an article that will show you how to do this: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/WpfSqueezeTabPanel.aspx .
