I got lost by your term "captured" so I'm assuming control A is the control you
are moving. When you move a control into TabItems IDE should look at the ACTIVE
tab (the one whose Name appears in the dropdown in ToolBar) for possible parents.

However the parenting routine specifically requires a prospective parent control
be a control in Layer 0 or the same layer the moving control is in or at the same
X and Y as the moving control. I'm not too sure why I made this rule and changing
it might break other people's projects. From what I understand about your project
you may not have your layers set up this way.

Can you send me a small sample of your project (just the TabControl and all the
controls within the TabItems) with Control A outside the tabs so I can see what
is happening when I move control A inside the tabs?
