Changing MouseOver background of tabitems

[LE DREAU Steeve]

Hi,

I'm trying to change the background color of RadTabItems using Blend or Visual Studio. I've edited the RadTabControl Template and tried to change colors into it but nothing happens. I've searched in your forums, but no concrete informations.
Can you please help me on this point and show me how we can change the background color of radtabitem when the mouse is over it ?

Thanks

Regards

Hello LE DREAU Steeve,

In order to implement your scenario you need to edit the RadTabItem ControlTemplate rather than the RadTabControl. Once you edit the RadTabItem ControlTemplate, you can change the MouseOver state resource brushes - TabItem_OuterBorder_MouseOver, TabItem_Background_MouseOver, TabItem_InnerBorder_MouseOver. The TabItem_Background_MouseOver is the brush controlling the background color of the RadTabItem when the mouse is over it.

I attached a sample project to get you started. I hope it helps.
