My question concerns the functionality of a WPF telerk tabcontrol.
I need to create the following functionality when a tabitem (tab) from a tabcontrol is involved in a drag and drop operation. The functionality is as follows.  If the dragged tabitem’s drop location is within the area of a tab located on the same tabcontrol where dragged tabitem originated from , then the dragged tabitem will be position as a tab in the tabcontrol where the drop location is. If the drop location is anywhere else on the screen a new process will started, and this new process will be display a tabcontrol populated with the dragged tabitem as a tab.  
I was told  a Telerik WPF tabcontrol already has the ability to position the dragged tabitem in the same tabcontrol it originated from if the drop location is with in the area of one of the tabcontrol’s tabs. I also was informed that the Devexpress WPF has the ability to create a new tabcontrol populated with the dragged tabitem as a tab in the same application if the drop location is elsewhere.
If this is all true does Telerik have available any sample project code that accomplished this I could download, and run in Visual Studio?
If so then I am looking for an easy way to how to override the original drop operation handler in the sample code above, and change the functionality if the drop location is in the elsewhere area mentioned above. So the override handler would let the original drop handler be called if the drop location is on one of the tabs of the tabcontrol that the dragged tabitem originated from.  If the drop location is anywhere else on the screen then the original drop handler would not be called ,and I would add code to perform the functionality I am seeking.
I am sure other people have ask the same type of question of overriding the drop handler. So is there any source code available that shows the adding of a route drag event handler  that acts the override event handler( the handler which gets called before the original one?).

No answers yet. Maybe you can help?
