WPF Tabbed Window – An Advanced Tab Control for Multview Layouts

Overview

The Tabbed Window control provides a browser‑style tabbed experience inside WPF applications. It consolidates multiple views into a single container while allowing flexible windowing workflows—detach tabs to float, reattach them later, pin frequently used views, and customize headers for clarity.

WPF Tabbed Window code example

Get started quickly with the WPF Tabbed Window by using the following code:

<Syncfusion:SfChromelessWindow x:Class="WpfApp1.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApp1"
        xmlns:Syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Windows.Controls;assembly=Syncfusion.SfChromelessWindow.Wpf" 
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800" WindowType="Tabbed">
   <Syncfusion:SfTabControl>
           <Syncfusion:SfTabItem Header="tabitem1" Content="TabItem1"/>
           <Syncfusion:SfTabItem Header="tabitem2" Content="TabItem2"/>
           <Syncfusion:SfTabItem Header="tabitem3" Content="TabItem3"/>
    </Syncfusion:SfTabControl>
</Syncfusion:SfChromelessWindow>

Chrome‑style tear‑off support

Tear off any tab just like in modern browsers to create a floating window. Drag it back to reattach when needed.

• Chrome‑like tab tearing experience
• Floating windows support full interaction, resizing, and theming

Reorder support

Easily drag a tab out to open it in a floating window and drop it back to dock it again, providing a smooth, adaptive workflow for multiscreen setups.

Merge between windows

Move tabs freely between two Tabbed Window controls by dragging a tab from one window and dropping it into another to instantly merge their tab groups. This allows users to reorganize content across windows and create a unified workspace.
