  Hello,

  I would like to hide the tab headers and handle navigation through code. Similar to a “wizard” style interface. Is it possible to hide the tab headers and if so, what would be the best way?

  Thanks,
  
  Dan

  Hi,

  To hide the TabHeaders, you need to find the C1TabPanel from C1TabControl’s visual children and then you can set Visiblity=Collapsed.

          private void TabControl_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
          {
              var s1 =FindMyChildByName(tabControl, "TabPanel") as C1TabPanel;
              s1.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
          }
  
  
          public static DependencyObject FindMyChildByName(DependencyObject parant, string ControlName)
          {
              int count = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parant);
  
              for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
              {
                  var MyChild = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parant, i);
                  if (MyChild is FrameworkElement && ((FrameworkElement)MyChild).Name == ControlName)
                      return MyChild;
  
                  var FindResult = FindMyChildByName(MyChild, ControlName);
                  if (FindResult != null)
                      return FindResult;
              }
              return null;
          }

  To navigate the tab items you can set SelectedIndex accordingly.

  Please refer the attached sample for the same : TabControlDemo.zip

  Best Regards,
