Hi there, I am fairly new to WPF and XAML. One of the biggest issues i am
running into is using the design surface.

I cannot seem to figure out how to bring a tabitem surface forward.

Example, a simple window with a tab control and 3 tab items. Each tabitem
has it's own set of UI controls that i want to design in any way i feel i
should be able to. THen i click on a tab header and I expect to be switched
to that design surface but nothing happens. I have to use navigation like
send to back send foward etc...



Any help here this is extremely unproductive for me at this time





Thanks

Joe.

Have you tried clicking on tab item using the "Direct Selection" arrow (2nd
from top) instead of "Selection" arrow?

Corrado,
Can you please give me a little more direction here. Where can i find these
different arrow selection types ? I'm looking up and down menu's on vs2008.
Sorry if I am a bit dense here, just looking for some help.

Thanks
Joe.

VS2008 no luck sorry.
Why don't you use Blend?
