Remove "border" around tab content in DockSite - Docking/MDI for WPF Forum

Posted 5 years ago by Brad Salmon

Version: 19.1.0684

I have a DockSite bound to collection of view models. When the tabs are rendered, there appears to be a "border" at the top and bottom of the content of the tab. I've tried to set the Margin and Padding to 0 on the DockingWindow and TabbedMdiHost but it still appears. Refer to the image here:

Notice the dark blue border/gap between the "Service List" tab and the content. There is also one at the bottom of the content. If the tab loses focus, the color of that "gap" changes to a baby-blue color, so I assume there is some style setting or property for it. I either want to get rid of it or at least change the style so the color matches the background of my content.

Hi Brad,

I believe that area is the "Highlight" portion of the AdvancedTabControl. The defaults are set with these resources:

<Setter Property="HighlightBrushActive" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static themes:AssetResourceKeys.TabbedMdiContainerTabControlBackgroundActiveFocusedBrushKey}}" />
<Setter Property="HighlightBrushInactive" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static themes:AssetResourceKeys.TabbedMdiContainerTabControlBackgroundInactiveNormalBrushKey}}" />
<Setter Property="HighlightThickness" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static themes:AssetResourceKeys.TabbedMdiContainerTabControlPaddingNormalThicknessKey}}" />

You may be able to just override the TabbedMdiContainerTabControlPaddingNormalThicknessKey resource to zero in your Application.Resources to get rid of it.
