Currently on an application I am working on we have a scenario where the amount of tabs is so big that the horizontal space in the window is not enough to fit them all. Hence some are hidden and when the user selects one of those (using the drop-down feature) it re-orders all the tabs.
How can I programmatically order them to their original order or is there a way to manage the order of all tabs?
Hello Martin,
This is to be expected. Tab ordering was designed to emulate Visual Studio at the time the XamDockManager was designed. Therefore since scrolling is not available in the tabbed document area; when panes are shifted out of view we intentionally bring the selected tab item into view and move the item in the collection to be the first item.
This was previously discussed here:http://ko.infragistics.com/community/forums/p/71969/364149.aspx#364149
The work around is to create a Control Template for TabGroupPane and modify the default template. I don't recommend performing this, therefore I recommend submitting a new product idea. You can suggest new product ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at <http://ideas.infragistics.com>.
