Tabs Studio Blog (organizing Visual Studio document tabs)

I’ve added Document paths regex and Custom conditions options to the Tab Coloring Rule dialog:

The Tab Coloring Rule dialog with new options

Document paths regex uses the newly added Paths tab item property consisting of document paths ending with ‘$’. For a tab “App .xaml .xaml.cs” Paths is something like “c:\Projects\WpfApplication1\app.xaml$c:\Projects\WpfApplication1\app.xaml.cs$”. If you want to set a color for all xaml and xaml.cs tabs, Document paths regex could be the following expression:

\.(xaml|xaml\.cs)\$

The Custom conditions option allows you to switch on tab item properties not listed in this dialog. For example, the MVCGroup add-in adds IsController and IsView attached tab properties. To color controller tabs you can use the following custom condition:

<Condition Binding="{Binding Path=(TabsStudioMvcGroup:Properties.IsController),
  RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" Value="True"/>

Another example is for the case when you want to change the color of a tab in Visual Studio 2010 when tabs are not focused:

<Condition Binding="{Binding Path=IsGroupFocused, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" Value="False"/>
