Select a Tab

Your end users can click a tab’s header at run time to select and view the tab’s content. In addition to end user interaction, you can programmatically select a tab to display its content or you can select a tab using XAML to display the contents of a tab when the application starts up.

The following example code demonstrates how to select a tab. The procedural code assumes you have at least two TabItemEx objects or TabItem objects in the Items collection.

In XAML:

<igWindows:XamTabControl Name="xamTabControl1">
    <igWindows:TabItemEx Header="Tab 1">
         <!-- TODO: Add panel here -->
    </igWindows:TabItemEx>
    <igWindows:TabItemEx Header="Tab 2" IsSelected="True">
        <!-- TODO: Add panel here -->
    </igWindows:TabItemEx>
</igWindows:XamTabControl>

In Visual Basic:

DirectCast(Me.xamTabControl1.Items(1), TabItem).IsSelected = True

In C#:

((TabItem)this.xamTabControl1.Items[1]).IsSelected = true;
