How can I make a button which pops up and also hides a window in WPF?

I am fairly new to WPF and I need a little help on this one.
I have an application where I have an accountmanager, which enables the user to see all their accounts (by email) in a ListBox.
Is there a way I can add a button which can pop up a window,
on every listbox item (which holds an account each)?
The button should also be able to hide the window.
EDIT:
I have another way to make the window show, not by button, but by right-click instead. I was just wondering if someone had a quick answer.
Thanks in advance!

You could have a StackPanel as your listbox item and have it contain a Label for the account email string, and a Button that shows whatever window you want to show. You can set the StackPanel's orientation to fit your needs as well.

select buttons orderly in userControl by press Tab key

I have a UserControl with some buttons in it (btnNew, btnCancel, btnEdit).
I used this UserControl in another project. When I press the tab key in this project, the selection button doesn't change regular!
For example, I want that if the user presses the Tab key, first the btnNew button is selected, then the btnEdit button, and finally the btnCancel button.
But in this project, when pressing the Tab key, the btnCancel button is selected first.
I want to manage the tab order of the buttons myself, and not use the default. How can I do this?
Thanks...

To set the order of how the buttons will be selected on tab press use the property
TabIndex
it defines the order the tabs will be selected. So set the tab index like the following
btnNew.TabIndex = 0;//selected first
btnCancel.TabIndex = 1;//the second
btnEdit.TabIndex = 2;//the last one

When the form designer is open go to View > Tab Order this will allow you to set the tab order in a very simple and easy way.

I don't have much knowledge on Windows Forms, As I know there will be a TabIndex property for each control.
You can set your order using that.

Menu View-> TabOrder
or
manually set TabIndex for each control.

To set the tab order of a control
On the View menu, click Tab Order. This activates the tab-order selection mode on the form. A number (representing the TabIndex
property) appears in the upper-left corner of each control.
Click the controls sequentially to establish the tab order you want.
When you have finished, click Tab Order on the View menu again to leave tab order mode.
Quoted from here.
You could also change the TabIndex property of each of the controls individually in the Properties pane. Or change it programatically like so btnNew.TabIndex = 0;.

How to mange a listbox inside a tab control

This is the first time I'm trying to build something with a tab control.
At first I made a small application in .NET 4 C#, which had a listbox as a stand alone at its main window and now I want to add a tab control and move the listbox into one of the tabs and a listview into the other tab so I can also present Icons.
My problems I'm facing are as follows:
1) I'm now adding the listbox dynamically to the tab control like this:
private ListBox listBoxMember = new ListBox();
public Form1()
{
listBoxMember.Size = tab1.Size;
tab1.Controls.Add(listBoxMember);
}
When starting the application, it seems like the listbox doesn't fit itself inside the entire tab and I can see it's borders inside the tab.. How can I fir the listbox completely into the tab so it would seem to the user that the tab itself is like a listbox?
2) Before my change I made a context menu which was activated with the listbox's mouse down event upon right clicking the mouse. Now after adding the listbox inside the tab, the menu won't open when the mouse is clicked. How can I use the context menu I made and use it the same way as I did when the listbox was a stand alone control?

To fill the tab with your ListBox, use the Fill property.
listBoxMember.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
Also since you are now creating the ListBox dynamically you'll need to set the ContextMenu dynamically as well.
listBoxMember.ContextMenu = myContextMenu;
Also be sure to give the listBoxMember a name so you can find it in the tab1.Controls collection.
listBoxMember.Name = "listBoxMember";
tab1.Controls["listBoxMember"];

How do I create a Tab Control with no Tab Header in Windows form?

I have created a Windows form using a Tab Control, but it has a header with it. I want to hide it. I am not able to do it using any properties of the Tab Control. Is there any property defined for hiding the tab header for the Tab Control without going through the code?

Use following code to hide the tabs or set these properties in design.
tabControl.Appearance = TabAppearance.FlatButtons;
tabControl.ItemSize = new Size(0, 1);
tabControl.SizeMode = TabSizeMode.Fixed;

You want the tab panels without the feature allowing a user to switch between them, so I suppose you want to create few separate sets of controls to be shown to the user one at a time. You can achieve this in several ways (you can choose one of them if you find it appropriate in your case):
Use several Panel controls instead of several tabs in the TabControl, however, it would be hard to work in the designer, because all the controls would be visible
Use different Forms instead of tabs to keep the layout parts separated. It can be ok, but you may not want to use multiple Forms, so it depends on a specific case.
and finally, the suggested solution:
Encapsulate each set of controls in a UserControl. This allows you to keep each layout separately, so you can easily design each of them without the other controls getting in the way ;). The the code handling each of the layouts would also be separated. Then just drag those controls in the Form and use set their visibilities appropriately to show the one you want.
If none of those suggestions work for you, let me know, so I can look for other possible solutions.

It's more easy as you think, you just drag the panel's window upper, so will be outside of the form.

Use DrawMode: OwnerDrawFixed will hide TabPage header text DrawMode : OwnerDrawFixed

Another way to achieve the same (or similar) is: You can remove tabs from TabControl.TabPages collection and then add the tab you want to show.
During the Form initialization I remove tabs (so into the designer I can easily manage them) and in some control event (as button click) I show the tab the user has to see.
Something like that:
// During form load:
ctrTab.TabPages.Clear();
// ......
// During button click or some other event:
if(rbSend.Checked)
ctrTab.TabPages.Add(pgSend);
else
ctrTab.TabPages.Add(pgReceive);
In this way the user can still see the header tab but just as title of controls group, he can't change/switch the current active tab.

Creating a Hyperlink to a different TabItem in WPF

I have a WPF application with multiple TabItems within a TabControl. In one of the TabItems, I want to have a Hyperlink that when clicked, changes the view from the current TabItem, to one of the other TabItems.
I've looked into the NavigateURI property of Hyperlink but I haven't found a way to set that to be a separate tab in the same window. Any thoughts on how to do this?

Just make a button, style it like a hyperlink, and change the tab control tabindex on the click of the button.
