https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/components/navs/#javascript-behavior

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 ActiveTabIndex property specifies a zero-based index of the tab that is currently selected.

A tab item can be disabled by setting its Enabled property to false.

<bs:TabControl>
  <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:TabItem Enabled="false">
    <HeaderTemplate>Tab 3</HeaderTemplate>
    <ContentTemplate>
      <p>Third tab</p>
    </ContentTemplate>
  </bs:TabItem>
</bs:TabControl>

Sample 2: ActiveTabIndex Property

The ActiveTabIndex property specifies a zero-based index of the tab which is currently selected.

Please note that the ActiveTabIndex takes precedence over the IsActive property of 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: Data-Binding Tab Items

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.

<bs:TabControl DataSource="{value: Tabs}">
  <HeaderTemplate>Tab {{value: Name}}</HeaderTemplate>
  <ContentTemplate>
    <p>{{value: Description}}</p>
    <dot:Button Click="{command: _parent.SelectTab(Id)}" Text="Select Tab" />
  </ContentTemplate>
</bs:TabControl>

<p>Selected Tab: {{value: Selected}}</p>

public class ViewModel
{
    public List<TabData> Tabs { get; set; }

    public string Selected { 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 void SelectTab(int index)
    {
        var selectedTab = Tabs.Single(t => t.Id == index);
        Selected = selectedTab.Id + " - " + selectedTab.Name + " - " + selectedTab.Description;
    }

}

public class TabData
{
    
    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 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>

{{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++;
        }
    }
}

Sample 5: TabControl Appearance

The VisualStyle property specifies how the navigation bar should look like - Tabs, Pills and Simple.

The IsFilled property defines whether the navigation bar takes all available horizontal space.

The IsJustified property defines whether the navigation items should have equal width.

<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:TabItem Enabled="false">
    <HeaderTemplate>Tab 3</HeaderTemplate>
    <ContentTemplate>
      <p>Third tab</p>
    </ContentTemplate>
  </bs:TabItem>
</bs:TabControl>
