IHi,
I am new to wpf and i am working windows apps i created WPF TabControl in my project that has a "2nd" border (right and bottom) I am unable to removed in any way.
I tried to Setting the BorderThickness=0,0,0,0 still leaves two lines on the right and bottom of the control. Can these be removed?

Thanks .

Setting BorderThickness to "0" will not work here. Though it removes all borders, still the shadow effect persists. To get around this, use the control templates.


<Style TargetType="{x:Type TabControl}">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TabControl}">
<Grid KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation="Local">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<TabPanel
Name="HeaderPanel"
Grid.Row="0"
Panel.ZIndex="1"
Margin="0,0,4,-1"
IsItemsHost="True"
KeyboardNavigation.TabIndex="1"
Background="Transparent" />
<Border
Name="Border"
Grid.Row="1"
Background="White"
BorderBrush="Transparent"
BorderThickness="1"
CornerRadius="2"
KeyboardNavigation.TabNavigation="Local"
KeyboardNavigation.DirectionalNavigation="Contained"
KeyboardNavigation.TabIndex="2" >
<ContentPresenter
Name="PART_SelectedContentHost"
Margin="4"
ContentSource="SelectedContent" />
</Border>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="False">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Gray" />
<Setter TargetName="Border" Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent" />
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>


Inspect the code, remove/add as per your requirement.

Put this code in the App.xaml file.
This will remove all the borders from the tab control.

You may also create a seperate resource file for a control template and add the reference of it in the App.xaml file.

Try this.. it will surely work.
