TabStrip Templates

Updated on Jun 17, 2026

The TabStrip templates allow you to customize the HTML output and styling of some component elements. This article describes the available TabStrip templates and how to use them.

Header Template

The TabStrip HeaderTemplate allows you to define custom content instead of plain text Title for each tab. The template can include HTML markup, components, icons or badges.

If both the Title parameter and the HeaderTemplate are defined for a TabStripTab, then the HeaderTemplate takes precedence.

Using a HeaderTemplate requires you to define the tab content inside a <Content> child tag of <TabStripTab>. Otherwise, the <Content> tag is optional and you can insert the tab content directly between the opening and closing tag of the tab.

For styling customizations on the tab headers, you can use the TabStripTab Class parameter instead of a HeaderTemplate, or use both at the same time.

Suffix Template

The TabStripSuffixTemplate allows you to render custom content after the last tab header, for example labels or buttons.

When using a Suffix Template, you must wrap the <TabStripTab> tags in a <ChildContent> tag.

The Suffix Template disables the rendering of the built-in Overflow Menu. When you need both features, add a TabStripOverflowMenu component to the TabStripSuffixTemplate explicitly.

Using TabStrip SuffixTemplate

<TelerikTabStrip @bind-ActiveTabId="@TabStripActiveTabId"
                 Height="300px">
    <TabStripSuffixTemplate>
        <TelerikButton Icon="@SvgIcon.ArrowLeft"
                       OnClick="@OnPreviousClick"
                       ThemeColor="@ThemeConstants.Button.ThemeColor.Primary"
                       Title="Previous Tab" />
        <TelerikButton Icon="@SvgIcon.ArrowRight"
                       OnClick="@OnNextClick"
                       ThemeColor="@ThemeConstants.Button.ThemeColor.Primary"
                       Title="Next Tab" />
    </TabStripSuffixTemplate>
    <ChildContent>
        @for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
        {
            string tabId = i.ToString();
            string tabTitle = $"Tab {i}";
            <TabStripTab @key="@tabId"
                         Id="@tabId"
                         Title="@tabTitle">
                <p>Content of @tabTitle</p>
            </TabStripTab>
        }
    </ChildContent>
</TelerikTabStrip>

@code {
    private string TabStripActiveTabId { get; set; } = "1";
    private const int TabCount = 5;

    private TabStripTabAlignment TabStripTabAlignment { get; set; } = TabStripTabAlignment.Start;
    private TabPosition TabStripTabPosition { get; set; } = TabPosition.Top;
    private readonly TabStripTabAlignment[] TabStripTabAlignments = new[]
    {
        TabStripTabAlignment.Center,
        TabStripTabAlignment.End,
        TabStripTabAlignment.Justify,
        TabStripTabAlignment.Start,
        TabStripTabAlignment.Stretched
    };

    private readonly TabPosition[] TabPositions = new[]
    {
        TabPosition.Bottom,
        TabPosition.Left,
        TabPosition.Right,
        TabPosition.Top
    };

    private void OnPreviousClick()
    {
        int currentTabId = GetActiveTabId();
        int previousTabId = Math.Max(currentTabId - 1, 1);
        TabStripActiveTabId = previousTabId.ToString();
    }

    private void OnNextClick()
    {
        int currentTabId = GetActiveTabId();
        int nextTabId = Math.Min(currentTabId + 1, TabCount);
        TabStripActiveTabId = nextTabId.ToString();
    }

    private int GetActiveTabId()
    {
        return int.Parse(TabStripActiveTabId);
    }
}
