How can I determine the type of the items that get added to a TabControl?

Question

I've created a CloseableTabItem control that derives from TabItem. Now I'd like to specify that a given TabControl should add new items using CloseableTabItem instead of TabItem. Is this possible? How?

Answer 1

public class CloseableItemsTabControl : TabControl
{
    protected override DependencyObject GetContainerForItemOverride()
    {
        return new CloseableTabItem();
    }
}
