CloseButtonVisibility is an enumeration with values of Visible, WhenSelected, WhenSelectedOrHotTracked or Hidden. If you want to bind that to a boolean property then you will need to create your own IValueConverter to convert from boolean to whichevery one of those values you want to use. Alternatively you could bind the AllowClosing property of the TabItem to your ViewModelCanClose property and set the TabItemCloseButtonVisibility of the xamTabControl to Visible or one of the other non-hidden options. I've attached a basic sample doing this.

Hello, I am attaching a sample application that shows how you can bind the CloseButtonVisibility to a property of the view model object. The sample application uses the following style for the TabItemEx:

<Style TargetType="igWindows:TabItemEx">
    <Setter Property="Header" Value="{Binding HeaderText}" /> 
    <Setter Property="CloseButtonVisibility" Value="{Binding CanClose,Converter={StaticResource BoolToVisibility}}"/>
</Style>

Which bind the header of the TabItemEx to property called HeaderText and the CloseButtonVisibility to CanClose property of the view model with the following converter:

    public class BoolToVisibilityconverter : IValueConverter
    {
        public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            if (value != null)
            {
                if ((bool)value)
                {
                    return TabItemCloseButtonVisibility.Visible;
                }
                else
                {
                    return TabItemCloseButtonVisibility.Hidden;
                }
            }
            return value;
        }

        public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }

Converting the bool value to TabItemExCloseButtonVisibility.
