How do I Access PaneTabItem of a contentpane?
posted

I need to access the PaneTabItem so that I can determine its bounding rectangle in order to determine whether the user is dropping a drag item to the tab header (the content pane is not visible at that time, just the tab header).  Try as I may, I cannot seem to get at it..  Is there a way to get at the panetabitem?  Thanks in advance.

    There is no property that will return the PaneTabItem. You could use the LogicalTreeHelper to get the parent and if that parent is a TabGroupPane then get the tab item from that. e.g.

        public static PaneTabItem GetPaneTab(ContentPane pane)
        {
            var group = LogicalTreeHelper.GetParent(pane) as TabControl;
     
    if (group != null)
    return group.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(pane) as PaneTabItem;
     
            return null;
        }
