How to set HorizontalAlignment of TabControl in code behind

I'm trying to set the HorizontalAlignment property of a WPF TabControl in the code-behind file (not in XAML), but there doesn't seem to be any way to do it. Is there a way to set this property in code without creating a style for the entire control?

The actual problem was that Visual Studio was referencing System.Windows.Forms.TabControl instead of System.Windows.Controls.TabControl. The WPF version has a HorizontalAlignment property, whereas the Winforms version does not. Forcing it to create a System.Windows.Controls.TabControl fixed the problem.

You need to name your TabControl, then you will be able to reference it in code behind. Like this:

 <TabControl Name="MyTabControl" />



this.MyTabControl.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
