Silverlight 4 closeable tabs in TabControl

Question

I have close button in the header of each tab of TabControl. Tabs are created dynamically in code and a datatemplate (in which the close button was defined) is applied. Now I want close-buttons to be visible only when tab is active. Is it possible to bind button's visibility property to tabitem's activeness (probably IsSelected property)? How?

Have a look Kent's solution. There's also some sample code on his blog.

I choose your answer correct without seeing details because I already took that root and achieved what I wanted. – synergetic Sep 22 '10 at 12:25

It would be easier to achieve if you put close button in TabHeader template instead of datatemplate.

Actually a datatemplate is applied as HeaderTemplate. – synergetic Sep 17 '10 at 07:12
