Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Core
Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Core.v14.2.dll
#Declaration
#Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Int32 | A zero-base integer value that specifies the selected tab item's index. |
#Remarks
Use the SelectedIndex property to select a tab item by its index within the Items collection. You can also use the DXTabControl.SelectedItem property to select the required tab item. To obtain whether a tab item is selected, use its DXTabItem.IsSelected property.
The tab control allows you to hide individual tab items. Using the SelectedIndex or DXTabControl.SelectedItem properties to select a hidden tab item does nothing. In this instance, use the DXTabControl.ShowTabItem method.
Setting the SelectedIndex property to a new value fires the DXTabControl.SelectionChanging event. This event is raised before a new tab item is selected, allowing you to cancel the action. After the new item has been selected, the DXTabControl.SelectionChanged event is fired.
