WPF Chrome Tabs

Here's a video on Vimeo showing the control in action.

wpfchrometabs's Issues

Animation bug

There is a problem with the animation. If you drag one tab to the left and drop just as the animation of the item below starts, then the item below is moved 2x tabWidth to the right. This is probably happening because ArrangeOverride is called before itemBelow.Complete.

In ChromeTabControl, how to bind ItemsSource to an ObservableCollection<MyViewModel> ?

Is it possible to use the MVVM Light framework and bind ChromeTabControl.ItemsSource to an ObservableCollection?
I cannot get it to work - an exception is thrown - see below.
I have zipped up a sample project here to illustrate the issue:
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=C5AC331FBA959883!141&authkey=!ALrLg9MbSyPXKQI

Here is my attempted XAML, taken from the zip:

    <chro:ChromeTabControl Name="tabGreen" 
                          ItemsSource="{Binding GreenModels}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedGreenTab}"
                           Grid.Row="4" Grid.Column="2">
   <!-- when I try to set ItemsSource="{Binding GreenModels}" below, 
    ChromeTabControl.cs get a InvalidCastException on line 179
    because this.Items entries, which is a GreenViewModel, cannot be cast to UIElement 
    -->
        <chro:ChromeTabControl.ItemContainerStyle>
            <Style TargetType="TabItem">
                <Setter Property="Header" Value="{Binding IdStringShort}"/>
            </Style>
        </chro:ChromeTabControl.ItemContainerStyle>

        <chro:ChromeTabControl.Resources>
            <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vm:GreenViewModel}">
                <vu:GreenControl />
            </DataTemplate>
        </chro:ChromeTabControl.Resources>
    </chro:ChromeTabControl>

Handle "NewTab"

Hi, I've been using your tab control, I've added a few components for theming the ChromeTabItem but I'm having a problem. When I click the "add" button I can not set the properties to that new tab...
I can only set the properties on the tabs that I add programatically

Any help?

I also can not where the "add" button is linked to add the new tab... My ideia was when a new tab was created with the "add" button an event would be fired with the newTab as ChromeTabItem

So can you tell me the function that handles the newTab creation as ChromeTabItem

The last tab is not closed if window is not maximized

If the window is maximized I can close all the tabs.
If it isn't (maximized) ,the last tab cannot be closed (HandleCloseTabCommand is not called)
I'll try to fix this if I can
