TabView status?

[chucker]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

WinUI's TabView has features the WPF TabControl lacks:

For example,

• tabs can be dragged to change their order
• …and they can be dragged between windows, or to create a new window
• tabs feature a close button
• there's an add button to the right

I would argue despite the similar visual metaphor, the TabView and TabControl are two different things. The TabView holds entire documents (for example, Windows 11's Notepad); the TabControl gives different views for a single document (for example, the General / Security / etc. tabs in a File Explorer's Properties dialog).

Describe the solution you'd like

There's an existing WPF library that does most (all?) of the above in https://github.com/ButchersBoy/Dragablz, and you can see that in action in a modern UI in, for example, the ModernWpf integration.

I wonder if, in lieu of rolling an implementation of its own, there could be a Wpf.Ui.Dragablz library that wraps Dragablz, and adds WpfUi styling.

Any news on this topic? We would really like that idea

Yeah, the recent one TabControl doesn't have close neither the add button, which are essential. as @chucker mentioned they are different, but having a TabView would be nice.
