TransparentTheme example

[Chris Ingrao]

Hello,

Could you provide an example of the TabControl.xaml in the TransparentTheme that sets the unselected tabs foreground color to white but leaves the selected tabs black?

Thanks!

Hello Chris Ingrao,
The easiest way to achieve your desired behavior is to handle the SelectionChanged and in it set the foreground to the RadTabItems manually like this:

private void myTab_SelectionChanged(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadSelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    var tab = sender as RadTabControl;
    for (int i = 0; i < tab.Items.Count; i++)
    {
        var container = tab.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(i) as RadTabItem;
        if (container != null)
        {
            if (i != tab.SelectedIndex)
            {
                container.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.White);
            }
            else
            {
                container.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black);
            }
        }
    }
}
