    <p>Here's a newbie question on the WPF TabControl, TabItem and TabPanel. There is a related question on StackOVF with an answer I happily used in my app. Here's a link to the answer, and the code snippet as well:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2273567/wpf-center-tabitems-in-a-tabcontrol/2273724#2273724">WPF: Center TabItems in a TabControl</a></p> <pre><code>&lt;TabControl&gt; &lt;TabControl.Resources&gt; &lt;Style TargetType="{x:Type TabPanel}"&gt; &lt;Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center" /&gt; &lt;/Style&gt; &lt;/TabControl.Resources&gt; &lt;TabItem Header="Test 1" /&gt; &lt;TabItem Header="Test 2" /&gt; &lt;TabItem Header="Test 3" /&gt; &lt;TabItem Header="Test 4" /&gt; &lt;/TabControl&gt; </code></pre> <p>While this is wonderful, I'd love to move the Resources and Style stuff to a better location (a stylesheet or the like). My first attempt was to move the <code>&lt;TabControl.Resources&gt;</code> tag to the <code>&lt;Window.Resources&gt;</code> but this did not work. I tried several variations but couldn't get it to work. Here's an example of an attempt I somewhat expected to work:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!-- Doesn't work as expected: --&gt; &lt;Window.Resources&gt; &lt;Style TargetType="{x:Type TabPanel}"&gt; &lt;Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center" /&gt; &lt;/Style&gt; &lt;/Window.Resources&gt; </code></pre> <p>Searching the web and msdn didn't help me solve my problem, but instead left me with a second (related) question: what actually <strong>is</strong> a TabPanel, and how does it relate to the TabControl?</p> <p>Any help and tips would be much appreciated.</p> <p>(Edited: commented in last example that the code doesn't work for me.)</p>
