Programmatically select the tab item

You can use the SelectedIndex property of SfTabView to programmatically select a tab item. Below is a code snippet demonstrating how to do this:

<tabView:SfTabView x:Name="tabView" SelectedIndex="2"/>
tabView.SelectedIndex = 2;

SelectedIndex in SfTabView

Get the selected tab item using IsSelected property

The IsSelected property indicates whether the tab item is active. This property can be used, as shown in the code snippet below, to check and perform actions on the selected tab item.

<tabView:SfTabView x:Name="tabView" SelectionChanged="Index_Changed"/>
tabView.SelectionChanged += Index_Changed;
    private void Index_Changed(object sender, TabSelectionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        bool itemSelection = tab1.IsSelected;
        if (itemSelection)
        {
            tab1.FontSize = 26;
        }
    }
