DevExtreme Angular - Control the Behavior

An end user can switch the views by swiping them or selecting tabs. Note that tab navigation is always enabled, while swiping is active only on touch devices by default. To enable it on all types of devices, assign true to the swipeEnabled option. Otherwise, assign false.

HTML
TypeScript
  • <dx-tab-panel
  • [swipeEnabled]="false">
  • </dx-tab-panel>
  • import { DxTabPanelModule } from 'devextreme-angular';
  • // ...
  • export class AppComponent {
  • // ...
  • }
  • @NgModule({
  • imports: [
  • // ...
  • DxTabPanelModule
  • ],
  • // ...
  • })

You can switch the views progrmmatically using the selectedIndex or selectedItem option.

HTML
TypeScript
  • <dx-tab-panel
  • [(selectedIndex)]="selectedIndex">
  • </dx-tab-panel>
  • import { DxTabPanelModule } from 'devextreme-angular';
  • // ...
  • export class AppComponent {
  • selectedIndex: number;
  •  
  • constructor() {
  • this.selectedIndex = 1;
  • }
  • }
  • @NgModule({
  • imports: [
  • // ...
  • DxTabPanelModule
  • ],
  • // ...
  • })

The TabPanel can loop the views, which enables an end user to swipe through the last view to the first and vice versa. Views are looped by default. To disable looping, assign false to the loop option.

HTML
TypeScript
  • <dx-tab-panel
  • [loop]="false">
  • </dx-tab-panel>
  • import { DxTabPanelModule } from 'devextreme-angular';
  • // ...
  • export class AppComponent {
  • // ...
  • }
  • @NgModule({
  • imports: [
  • // ...
  • DxTabPanelModule
  • ],
  • // ...
  • })

To specify whether or not to animate switching between views, use the animationEnabled option.

HTML
TypeScript
  • <dx-tab-panel
  • [animationEnabled]="true">
  • </dx-tab-panel>
  • import { DxTabPanelModule } from 'devextreme-angular';
  • // ...
  • export class AppComponent {
  • // ...
  • }
  • @NgModule({
  • imports: [
  • // ...
  • DxTabPanelModule
  • ],
  • // ...
  • })
