Hi

I would like to remove the horizontal line that appears beneath the tabs, I have managed to remove the border of the content of each tab item, but there is still a line between the tab selectors and the content, which I'd like to remove, but can't find where to set that when editing the template in blend.

Thanks for any help.

John

Hi Johno,

You can remove the border of the Header element in the RadTabControlStyle by setting the BorderThickness property to 0:

<ControlTemplatex:Key="TabControlTemplate"TargetType="telerik:RadTabControl">
...
    <!--Header Border-->
    <Borderx:Name="HeaderBackground"
        Visibility="{TemplateBinding BackgroundVisibility}"
        Background="{StaticResource TabControl_HeaderBackground}"
        BorderBrush="{StaticResource TabControl_ContentBorderBrush}"
        BorderThickness="0 0 0 0"/>
...
</ControlTemplate>

This will remove the border around the Header part of the RadTabControl. Is this what you were looking for?

Take a look at the attached project, illustrating the described approach and let me know if this is what you had in mind.

All the best,

I have a similar issue.

between the tabs and the content there is a thin gray line that goes from one side of the content area to the other. I'd like to remove it as it is making my gradient ugly.

Please see attached.

Hi Wade,

Your issues can be solved by editing the default template of the control. In your case (as I see in the picture) you want to set a LinearGradientBrush for background of the header which continues on the content of the selected Item. The gradient of the Header can be set from the Background property of the Border element called "SelectionVisual" in the default template of the RadTabControl.

<Border x:Name="SelectionVisual"
        Margin="0"
        BorderBrush="#FF848484"
        BorderThickness="1,1,1,0"
        CornerRadius="3,3,0,0"
        Opacity="0">
    <Border.Background>
        <LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0.5,0" EndPoint="0.5,1">
            <GradientStop Color="White" />
            <GradientStop Offset="1" Color="#FFFAFAFA" />
        </LinearGradientBrush>
    </Border.Background>
    <Border BorderBrush="White"
            BorderThickness="1,1,1,0"
            CornerRadius="2,2,0,0" />
</Border>

For your convenience I extracted the default template of the control in the attached project. Please take a look at it and let me know if it works for you.

Thanks Pavel for the help, but that solution had no effect on the line between the tab and the header underneath it.

Hi Wade,

Can you please send me your project and point me to the border\line that you want to remove? I was not able to find it in my project. It may be a part of your content or content template. I will be able to suggest a better approach if I can see your code. Thank you for your cooperation.

In creating the sample project, I discovered that there is something wrong in our own code as I was able to achieve the desired effect in the sample project.

I suspect that there is another style overriding what I want.

Thank you very much for your time and your effort.

Hello Jamshed,

In this particular scenario the referenced border comes from the TextBox in your custom DataTemplate named TabContent. In order to remove it you can set the BorderThickness property of that TextBox to 0.

<DataTemplate x:Key="TabContent">
    <Grid>
        <TextBox Text="{Binding Body}" BorderThickness="0" Margin="5"/>
    </Grid>
</DataTemplate>
