Hi
I need to place next radtabmenu partially on top of the previous one
May I ask what needs to be done to achieve this effect? thanks

 <telerik:RadTabItem Padding="4 3" x:Name="test" HeaderTemplate="{DynamicResource radTabItemTemplate}" Height="70" />

    <DataTemplate x:Key="radTabItemTemplate">
        <Grid>
            <Image Grid.Column="0" Source="pack://application:,,,/Images;component/images/greenarrow.gif"/>

Hi george,

If you want to use a specific property of your Business object to determine a specific color of your TabItem/ (color of a control in the template of the tabItem) you can use a Converters. Please find the attached project and give it a try. Basically, a possible approach to your issue is demonstrated, the Type property of the Business object ( or the ViewModel of the Business object) determines the specific Foreground of the TextBlock inside the Itemtemplate of the RadTabControl. Please feel free to ask if you need further assistance.
