Hi,

I have a pretty basic need but unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to do it.

Below is the markup of my window which has a TabControl bound to TabList property

of it's DataContext:

  <Window.Resources>
    <vm:MainWindowViewModel x:Key="ViewModel"/>
 
    <DataTemplate x:Key="DocumentItemTemplate" DataType="{x:Type ig:TabItemEx}">
      <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Title}" Margin="3,0,0,0" />
    </DataTemplate>
 
    <DataTemplate x:Key="DocumentContentTemplate">
      <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Content}" Margin="3,0,0,0" />
    </DataTemplate>
  </Window.Resources>
  <ig:XamTabControl Theme="Office2k7Black" x:Name="tcMain"
                    DataContext="{StaticResource ViewModel}"
                    ItemsSource="{Binding TabList}"
                    SelectedIndex="0"
                    ItemTemplate="{StaticResource DocumentItemTemplate}"
                    ContentTemplate="{StaticResource DocumentContentTemplate}"
                    AllowTabClosing="True" TabItemCloseButtonVisibility="WhenSelectedOrHotTracked">
  </ig:XamTabControl>

Below is the code of ViewModel that is the DataContext of the window:

  public class MainWindowViewModel {
 
    private ICommand _RemoveTabCommand;
 
    public MainWindowViewModel() {
      _RemoveTabCommand = new RelayCommand<TabClass>(RemoveTab, CanRemoveTab);
      TabList = TabClass.GetList();
    }
 
    public ObservableCollection<TabClass> TabList { get; set; }
 
    public ICommand RemoveTabCommand {
      get { return _RemoveTabCommand; }
    }
 
 
    private bool CanRemoveTab(TabClass tab) {
      return tab != null;
    }
 
    private void RemoveTab(TabClass tab) {
      TabList.Remove(tab);
    }
  }
 
  public class TabClass {
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public string Content { get; set; }
 
    public TabClass(string title, string content) {
      Title = title;
      Content = content;
    }
 
    public static ObservableCollection<TabClass> GetList() {
      var result = new ObservableCollection<TabClass>();
      result.Add(new TabClass("Tab 1", "Content 1"));
      result.Add(new TabClass("Tab 2", "Content 2"));
      result.Add(new TabClass("Tab 3", "Content 3"));
      result.Add(new TabClass("Tab 4", "Content 4"));
      result.Add(new TabClass("Tab 5", "Content 5"));
      result.Add(new TabClass("Tab 6", "Content 6"));
 
      return result;
    }
  }
 

What I want is to call the RemoveTabCommand when the close button of a TabItemEx is clicked. 

This should be easy and straightforward but I couldn't do it. We use MEF and MVVM in our project 

and our views exist as resources in a resource dictionary. Therefore we can't manipulate the view

controls in the code-behind; just bind our ViewModels to our Views manage everything through 

commands.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.
