Feature Request: Close Window -> Rearrange back to Tab about dragablz HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi,

My initial reaction to this was "that's some kind of specialised behaviour that should be managed with the app", but after thinking this through, I can see the case for it, especially if you have TabablzControl.ShowDefaultCloseButton turned off, which is the default starting position.

I'll have a little think about how to implement it. In the mean-time, there are enough hooks for you to do this yourself in some kind of tab contoller/window manager type set-up.

I'll draw your attention to a few hooks:

If TabablzControl.ShowDefaultCloseButton is turned off and you want to allow only specific tabs to be close-able, you can implement a custom header (MVVM based) which contains a button using '''TabablzControl.CloseItemCommand'''. See CustomHeader.xaml example.

You would need a hook onto your windows. You can intercept Dragablz creation of new windows by implementing IInterTabClient, and setting this property on the InterTabController. There is a DefaultInterTabClient which you can look at to get started. Also see this blog post.

Finally, you can check if a window is closing as part of a drag operation by inspecting the attached property TabablzControl.GetIsClosingAsPartOfDragOperation(Window). So, if this returns false inside a Window.Closing event you could consider it a user driven close, pull the tabs, find another Window, and add them into that tab control.

OK, implemented a new property and a new (optional) hook. TabablzControl.ConsolidateOrphanedItems is your new friend. Setting this will cause tab items to move to another tab/window if a window is closed.

One caveat, is they appear next to the currently selected tab in the target window, and not on the end. But I have another issue open for this so when I look at that it should get resolved.

I've also provided ConsolidatingOrphanedItemCallback. This will allow you to cancel the tab consolidation on a per tab basis. This would be useful have a you have some mandatory/fixed tabs, and some additional tabs that the user might open on demand.

I'll leave this issue open for a bit; let me know how you get on.
