In WPF app inside a TabControl there is a TabItem element with one Label. I want to fire the event on MouseClick on the Tab of this TabControl, but the event MouseLeftButtonDown:

<TabItem Header="Header1" MouseLeftButtonDown="TabItem_MouseLeftButtonDown" >
      <Label Height="28" Name="AdderLbl" Width="120" Background="Azure" >Label</Label>
</TabItem>

fires only on click over the label. It is not wat I want.

How I could fire the event on MouseClick over the Tab, not its content?

What are you trying to achieve? It looks like you're trying to trap when the user moves to the tab, if so you can hook a different event SelectionChanged
