We've got a custom control which inherits RadTabbedWindow. I.e:

 

<telerik:RadTabbedWindow x:Class="MyCustomTabbedWindow">...</telerik:RadTabbedWindow>

 

MyCustomTabbedWindow binds to a viewmodel and so on, and works fine. However, when it creates a new window by dragging a tab out of it, the new window (event.NewWindow) is of the base type (RadTabbedWindow), not MyCustomTabbedWindow...

 

Is it possible to fix this somehow so that the newly created window is of the correct type? At the moment we've done a workaround which creates the new window in the event handler and cancels the original event, but that feels... like a workaround :)

 

Any suggestions on how to go about doing this?

Hello Mattias,

Currently, RadTabbedWindow is creating another RadTabbedWindow instance when you drag out a tab and I am afraid that there is on API that allows you to change this. To achieve your requirement, you can use the TabbedWindowCreating event as you are already doing. 

If you have other questions, please let me know.

Hello Mattias,

We reviewed this again and we've logged a feature request to allow providing a custom window instance when the drag/drop is executed. You can find this in our feedback portal. Also we've updated your Telerik points.
