How to animate dynamically added tabitem

How to slide RadTabItem when we add new RadTabItem dynamically in the RadTabControls?

I want to animate the newly added TabItem and I want to add a sliding animation for content when it is selected.

Thank you very much!

Hello Hicham,

 Currently this cannot be implemented easily in the RadTabControl. This needs a lot of XAML and code behind work. We could create a feature request for you and you will be able to vote for it, thus increasing its development priority. Is this suitable for you ?

Hello Petar,

It'll be nice if you do it, especially my company uses your products in many projects. I am ready to give you more details if needed.

Thank you for your help.

Best wishes.

Hi Hicham,

 Yes, we will appreciate if you can send us more details about this feature request. This way it will be more clear and the people will take easier decisions on whether to vote for the feature in PITS or not. Thank you in advance.

All the best,

Hi Petar,

My need is this:

Every RatTabItem is created dynamically when a Radmenu is clicked. So I want to have the transition like if the tabitem fade in from the menu (the same effect in windows task bar window openning). And when closing the tab I want that appears like if the tab returns to the menu which opened it before.

Good regards.

Hi Hicham,

If there is no movement (item moving from Menu to TabControl) , why not playing with the Opacity of the RadTabItem after it is added (increase from 0 to 1 in some time interval) and the Opacity of the RadMenuItem before being removed (decrease from 1 to 0). Is this suitable for you ?

I'll try to do it. But it will be appreciable if you gave a sample. Thank you in advance.

Hi Hicham,

 I prepared a project for you that animates the Opacity of the RadTabItems and RadMenuItems. Hope you will find it useful.
