    Hi Sergiy,

    The button you marked is actually a scrolling button that allows you to scroll through the tabs of the RadTabControl. It usually comes up when there are too many tabs in the control and they can't be properly displayed on the screen. If you want to disable this functionality you can set the ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility attached property value to Disabled.

    However, please have in mind that when you disable the ScrollViewer, when there isn't enough space to display all tabs, the control will arrange them in rows. And by default the rows are dynamically reordered to make the row of the currently selected tab first. And you can turn on/of this behavior through the ReorderTabRows property.

    Thanks.It helped me
    The number of tabs is static. I need to autoWidth their inside TabControl (they all must have the some width).
    I wrote for WindowsTabControl some Converter and use it for RadTabControl. (TabItem width = Actual TabControl width  
    \ TabControl Width). 
    public object Convert(object[] values, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        var tabControl = values[0] as RadTabControl;
     
        if (null != tabControl)
        {
            var width = tabControl.ActualWidth / tabControl.Items.Count;
            //Subtract 2, otherwise we could overflow to two rows.
            return (width <= 1) ? 0 : (width - 2);
        }
        return null;
    }
    But solution is complicated. See atache file (it's result of my code).

    Quastion. Is there an easier way in RadControlTab? Have RadTabControl  got some properties?

    Hi Sergiy,

    You can use instead the Align property of the RadTabControl - if you set its value to Justify, the tabs will automatically align to take up all available area per your requirements.

    I need that all tab have the some width, but in this case tabs take up all available area and they have got diffenent width  
    (becase have different text header)

    Hello Sergiy,

    Thank you for getting back to us and elaborating on your scenario. In that case, your approach (manually calculating the width) is the best option.
