Find interaction in Blazor Tabs Component

28 Dec 20215 minutes to read

You can find whether the tab is selected by user interactions or programmatically in the Selecting and Selected event with the field IsInteracted. When the user changes the tab by clicking on the tab header, it will return true. Otherwise, it will return false. The following code example depicts how to find the tab selecting state in Selected event.
