    I am using RadTabControl and I need to make Headers not displayable for all TabItems (I use other control for navigation through them).
    So, how to do this?

    Hi Helly,

    You will need to edit the ControlTemplate of the RadTabControl and set the Visibility of the ItemsPresenter displaying the TabItems Header to Collapsed:
    <ScrollViewer x:Name="ScrollViewerElement" Margin="2 0 2 -1" BorderThickness="0"
                  HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="{Binding (ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility), RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}"
                  VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
        ...
        <!--Header ItemsPresenter-->
        <ItemsPresenter Visibility="Collapsed" />
        ...
    </ScrollViewer>

    You can take a look at the attached project that illustrates this approach. Also, here you can find more information on how to edit teh ControlTemplates of RadControls in ExpressionBlend.

    All the best,

    I wonder what would be the easiest way to show that part only if number of items in RadTabControl is greater than one?

    Thanks!

    Hi Andrew,

    This functionality can easily be achieved with an attached property. Could you please take a look at the attached project and let me know if the suggested approach works for you. I'd be glad to further assist you.

    Hi Kiril,

    Thanks for the sample! I was hoping there is a way to hide or show the tab strip automatically depending on number of tabs that tab control currently contains (I was going to create a style or a property that would take care of it), but perhaps I am asking for too much :) Of course, I can track the number of tabs myself, it's just a bit inconvenient, that's it.

    I guess I am also using tab control not in the way it was supposed to be used, but since the nested docking is not supported I have to be creative :(

    Cheers,
    Andrew
