A tab control based on WPF chrome tabs, modified to work with the MVVM pattern. WPF chrome tabs is a tab control modeled after the tabs in Google's Chrome browser.

New features include:

• Support for dragging tabs to new windows, and snapping them back into tabs.
• Support for pinned tabs.
• Bindable property to lock tabs
• Bindable property to show/hide "add tab" button
• Bindable property for selected tab brush
• Bindable property to drag window instead when dragging the last remaining tab.
• Bindable propertes for minimum tab width, maximum tab width, and pinned tab width.

Available on NuGet.

The basic functionality can be done as simple as :

####xaml:

        xmlns:ct="clr-namespace:ChromeTabs;assembly=ChromeTabs"
    
        <ct:ChromeTabControl ItemsSource="{Binding ItemCollection}"
                             SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedTab}"
                             AddTabCommand="{Binding AddTabCommand}"
                             CloseTabCommand="{Binding CloseTabCommand}">

####viewmodel:

        public ObservableCollection<MyTabClass> ItemCollection { get; set; }
        public MyTabClass SelectedTab { get; set; }
        (...)
        void CloseTabCommandAction(MyTabClass tab)
        {
            ItemCollection.Remove(tab);
        }
        void AddTabCommandAction()
        {
            ItemCollection.Add(New MyTabClass());
        }

##New in 1.1:

• Pinned tabs: Chrome style pinned tabs is now supported.
• Bindable propertes for minimum tab width, maximum tab width, and pinned tab width is added
• Fixed several glitches and bugs that some times occured when moving or switching tabs.

####Pinned tab implementation:

Pinning tabs requires the "IsPinned" property to be set on the ChromeTabItem.

Subscribe to the ContainerItemPreparedForOverride event on ChromeTabControl, and set the IsPinned property:

        private void TabControl_ContainerItemPreparedForOverride(object sender, ContainerOverrideEventArgs e)
        {
            e.Handled = true;
            MyViewModel viewModel = e.Model as MyViewModel;
            if (e.TabItem != null && viewModel != null)
            {
                e.TabItem.IsPinned = viewModel.IsPinned;
            }
        }

Then we need to add a SortDescription to the CollectionViewSource to keep the pinned tabs in place. This description needs to be added before any other SortDescriptions:

     ICollectionView view = CollectionViewSource.GetDefaultView(MyTabCollection) as ICollectionView;
     view.SortDescriptions.Add(new SortDescription("IsPinned", ListSortDirection.Descending));
