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?

Answer 1

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