controltemplate

Hello everybody!

In a SL4 application i need to restyle my TabItems (actually add a button in the header).

So i took the TabItem's control template from here and added the functionality i wanted.

This seems to work fine, (i could dynamically add tabitems) with one exception: i think this posted control template is behaving somehow "arbitrary": every time the mouse hoovers over a non selected TabItem header, this gets selected WHITHOUT clicking!! (afaik this is not the default behavior: the user user has to click a header to make this tabitem the selected one).

I tried to find why it is behaving like this, with no luck! Is there someone who can enlighten my darkness???

Thanks in advance!
