I've tried to make my own button appear in the TabablzControl, but as soon as someone clicks it, not only does the event handler not get called, but the button itself moves into the tab. Also, when I try to add a TabItem programmatically to the TabablzControl using items.add, it doesn't do anything.
Thanks in advance.
That is the stripped down version of the GUI I was working on, with all mentioned issues in it.
I tried to make it as simple as possible for the sake of anyone trying to help not having to comb through mountains of source.
Also, in case it matters, I'm using the latest .NET framework, WPF framework, and C#, on Visual Studio 2017 RC.
Though the Dragablz test solution works perfectly fine In the area that I was looking at
Update: No matter what I try, I can't get the default add button to produce the expected behavior. I even went as far as copying a lot of the project files directly from the demo and adapting the namespace referencing the local project. Still, It couldn't find anything. I am really confused as to what is going on.
I thought maybe that it was missing some random configurations that I missed, but even the BoundExampleWindow from the demo was having the same errors.
Does anyone have working code that makes a new tab?
I think it may be that the versions of Dragablz included in the demo target older versions of everything I have installed, so it is screwing up when I give it newer ones, because otherwise I can't really explain what is going on, unless I missed something stupidly obvious and over-complicated everything.
@ButchersBoy Is there any way to get a button into the TabablzControl, separate from the tabs, and make the click handler actually work. I'm trying to make my own add button and I came up with a solution but it's literally just a button in the top right corner of the program. I really want to have that new tab button from the demo, but again, everything I try to do gives me an error. I don't understand. Also, sorry if I am being annoying.
For everyone trying to do the same thing as I, for some reason, on newer versions of .NET and without the actual Dragablz project imported into the solution, it is not possible to use the default add button with a custom action as far as I can tell, but it is possible to use the header suffix, as I have found from over 30 years worth of mashing my keyboard.
how to make it work:
<dragablz:TabablzControl.HeaderSuffixContent>
<Button Margin="10" Name="NewTab" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Background="Transparent" Foreground="{StaticResource MaterialDesignPaper}" Content="{materialDesign:PackIcon Plus}"/>
</dragablz:TabablzControl.HeaderSuffixContent>
then use:
NewTab.click += (s, e) => { /code goes here/ }
NewTab.click += (s, e) => { /code goes here/ }
to handle clicks
but you can provide a NewItemFactory
or, as you have done, you provide your own suffix content
do I need to do something different?
its literally a button in the header with the command="{x:Static dragablz:TabablzControl.CloseItemCommand}"
but that was just supposed to be a test because I want that button to do other things, so I need a click handler
It seems that no events for things I put into the header of a tabitem get triggered.
Am I doing something wrong again?
I got buttons inside the tabitem headers to work but the only way to do it is to right click the header where the button is, then click and everything will execute as expected.

I am replicating the restore layout functionality from the Doobry application. But i hit a roadblock when trying to restore branches. For some reason, it is unable to find the initial TabablzControl. An exception is thrown in the Finder.Find(TabablzControl) method - because the Layout.GetLoadedInstances, returns nothing. So i get a LocationReportException("Instance not within any layout."). I have the working doobry application, and my broken implementation side by side, and i just can't seem to figure out the difference that makes this fail. Any ideas? :)
I have a tabViewModel that has a Parent property. This property is updated from the Observable OnChanged event, so that the parent is updated to whatever MainViewModel the tab is dragged to. But when docking/branching the tab in a window, it seems to not run the onchanged event in the observable collection. So I am trying to set the Parent property using the DragablzItem.DragCompleted, but I am having a hard time accessing the actual tabviewmodel from that event. All i can see is a UnderlyingContent that contains the tabViewModel instance, but that property is internal. Is there a way to do this using this event, or am i looking in the wrong place?
I was unable to keep the Parent property of my tabViewModels referenced to the WindowViewmodel, so instead i changed it so that when i want to open a dialog, i go throught the Loaded layout instances using Layout.GetLoadedInstances, and then finds the layoutinstance where my viewmodel is a child. Then i find the window in which the layout instance is located. Then i have the window, which has a datacontext, which has the DialogIdentifier property. Then i use the dialogHost to open the dialog.
