Override Update DropIndicator for TabbedWindowTabControl
When you drag a tab and want to drop it next to another tab, you drag the tab over the other tab, and have these left / right drop indicator. The width of this drop indicator seems to be set in the internal method "UpdateDropIndicator" in the class "TabbedWindowTabControl". Is there any easy way to overwrite this? What we would like to do is have 3 different drop indicators, like left / middle / right. In our case the "middle" indicator would mean that the contents of 2 tabs are merged.

Hello Dennis,

Thank you for the idea. It is not very meaningful to have a "middle" drop position in the context of the default TabbedWindow behavior because it doesn't support automatic merge of the contents. However, it might be a good idea to allow customizing the size and the position of the drop indicator visual. This is why we have approved this feature request. The Unplanned status means that we agree that the feature is meaningful for the control, but it is not yet planned. 

In the meantime, you can find attached a project showing a customization that could be useful in your scenario. I hope this helps.

Regards,
Martin Ivanov
