Bold the Selected Tab Header Text

[Stuart Cotts]

I feel silly for asking as I should know how to do this. I am using the Fluent theme and want to bold the Header Text of the Selected Tab. It is possible we will change themes, Is that something simply done?

Hi Stuart,

Thank you for your interest in our RadTabControl for WPF.

There is no out-of-the-box way to customize the selected style of the RadTabItem. To do that, you will need to extract and edit the default template of the RadTabItem. The RadTabItem has separate Border elements in its ControlTemplate responsible for visualizing its selection states (named "SelectionVisual"). You can extract and modify the Fluent theme template and change the Backgrounds of those Border elements. Now, as you have a dynamic theme change, you will need to extract the template of the RadTabItem for every theme. You can place each modified template in different dictionaries and merged the required one per the chosen theme. You can check the following help article, which I think will get in handy.

• Editing Control Templates
• Switching Themes at Runtime

Hello!

Here is my Solution with a more colored and bolded Header of the Tab to use with the StyleManager.
It ist full functional with Pins and Close Button because it's based on the original Telerik Implicit Styles.

All Changes in the Style files are marked with 'Changes'.
