I want/would like a TabControl with TabItem’s I can close (with an x) and move around. If I also could move the tabitems to other screens it would be great. In fact I want it exactly as in VS2010 with docking and splitting side-by-side etc. But to implement all this by my self would take weeks. Thats life I suppose, but perhaps there is some way I could borrow the templates from VS2010? I tried snooping VS2010 but it wasnt working and I dont know if it would even if I could, I mean its not that snoop lets me extract the templates anyway. What other options do I have? Could Blend help me here? Reflector?

    I don’t know about stealing VS2010 TabControl template,

    but as a start here’s a good tabcontrol template I think :
    http://www.blogs.intuidev.com/post/2010/02/15/WPF-TabControl-series-Part-4-Closeable-TabItems.aspx

    This one makes the tab closable and keep them on one line, with a special scrollbar.
    Also, there is a kind of combobox on the right of the tabs which list all the tabs, like in VS2010.

    What is missing is the possibility to move tabs around (could be done I think), and to move tabs to other screen, as if there where other windows (harder to do I think).

    Anyway, let me know if you find something better 🙂

    See you.
