TabControl
in namespace DotVVM.Framework.Controls.Bootstrap
Renders Bootstrap Tabs. (nav-tabs)
Usage & Scenarios
Renders the Bootstrap Tabs widget.
Sample 1: Basic TabControl
Each tab is represented by the TabItem control.
The header and content of each TabItem is defined using the HeaderTemplate and ContentTemplate properties.
The IsActive property specifies whether the tab is currently selected or not.
<bs:TabControl>
<bs:TabItem IsActive="true">
<HeaderTemplate>Tab 1</HeaderTemplate>
<ContentTemplate>
<p>First tab</p>
</ContentTemplate>
</bs:TabItem>
<bs:TabItem>
<HeaderTemplate>Tab 2</HeaderTemplate>
<ContentTemplate>
<p>Second tab</p>
</ContentTemplate>
</bs:TabItem>
</bs:TabControl>Sample 2: ActiveTabIndex Property
The ActiveTabIndex property specifies a zero-base index of the tab which is currently selected.
Please note that the ActiveTabIndex takes precedence over the TabItem
<bs:TabControl ActiveTabIndex="{value: Index}" >
<bs:TabItem>
<HeaderTemplate>Tab 1</HeaderTemplate>
<ContentTemplate>
<p>First tab</p>
</ContentTemplate>
</bs:TabItem>
<bs:TabItem>
<HeaderTemplate>Tab 2</HeaderTemplate>
<ContentTemplate>
<p>Second tab</p>
</ContentTemplate>
</bs:TabItem>
</bs:TabControl>using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
namespace DotvvmWeb.Views.Docs.Controls.bootstrap.TabControl.sample2
{
public class ViewModel
{
public int Index { get; set; } = 1;
}
}Sample 3: TabControl Data-Binding
To create tab items from a collection in the viewmodel, use the DataSource property bound to any IEnumerable collection in the viewmodel.
The HeaderTemplate and ContentTemplate specify the templates for the generated tab items.
If you want to control which tab item is active in combination with the DataSource property, you can do it by setting the IsActiveBinding property
to a property on the data-bound items which specifies whether the tab should be active or not.
<bs:TabControl DataSource="{value: Tabs}"
IsActiveBinding="{value: IsActive}" >
<HeaderTemplate>Tab {{value: Name}}</HeaderTemplate>
<ContentTemplate>
<p>{{value: Description}}</p>
<dot:Button Click="{command: _parent.Write(Id)}" Text="Write Contents" />
</ContentTemplate>
</bs:TabControl>
<p>Result: {{value: Text}}</p>
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
namespace DotvvmWeb.Views.Docs.Controls.bootstrap.TabControl.sample3
{
public class ViewModel
{
public List<TabData> Tabs { get; set; }
public void Write(int index)
{
var selectedTab = Tabs.Single(t => t.Id == index);
Text = selectedTab.Id + " - " + selectedTab.Name + " - " + selectedTab.Description;
}
public string Text { get; set; }
public ViewModel()
{
Tabs = new List<TabData>()
{
new TabData() { Id = 1, Name = "Tab 1", Description = "Tab one" },
new TabData() { Id = 2, Name = "Tab 2", Description = "Tab two" },
new TabData() { Id = 3, Name = "Tab 3", Description = "Tab three"},
new TabData() { Id = 4, Name = "Tab 4", Description = "Tab four" }
};
}
}
public class TabData
{
public bool IsActive { get; set; }
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
}
}Sample 4: ActiveTabChanged Event
The ActiveTabChanged event is triggered when the user select another tab item.
<bs:TabControl ActiveTabChanged="{command: SelectedTabChanged()}">
<bs:TabItem>
<HeaderTemplate>Tab 1</HeaderTemplate>
<ContentTemplate>
<p>First tab</p>
</ContentTemplate>
</bs:TabItem>
<bs:TabItem>
<HeaderTemplate>Tab 2</HeaderTemplate>
<ContentTemplate>
<p>Second tab</p>
</ContentTemplate>
</bs:TabItem>
</bs:TabControl>
{{value: NumberOfChanges}}using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
namespace DotvvmWeb.Views.Docs.Controls.bootstrap.TabControl.sample3
{
public class ViewModel
{
public int NumberOfChanges { get; set; } = 0;
public void SelectedTabChanged()
{
NumberOfChanges++;
}
}
