Hi all,

This worked brilliantly, thanks!!!

Just a quick note, I wanted to go one step further by allowing the user to be able to add a tab and then immediately go into edit mode.  I initially had prolems in that the tabControl.UIElement.GetDescendant(typeof(TabItemUIElement), myNewTab) was returning a null.  To resolve this, I had to refresh the tabControl  (myTabControl.Refresh()) immediately after adding my new tab and before attempting to go into edit mode.

Hope this helps.

i figured it out... the textbox should be created outside the ultratabcontrol

Hi.

I just tried to apply the code, the problem i have is that the ultratexteditor is behind the tab and i cant get it to the front.

any suggestions? thx

Not bad. The only suggestion I'll make is that you use the following code to find a tab's rect so you don't have to do so much work manually searching for the edges:

UIElement tabElement = this.tabAddress.UIElement.GetDescendant( typeof( TabItemUIElement ), tab );

if ( tabElement != null )
{
 Rectangle tabRect = tabElement.Rect;
 // ...
}

Awsome.....I didn't know about that UIelement thing...I am still only a couple of onion layers deep in the Infra stuff
