28 Sep 202313 minutes to read

You can change the Tab content height by using the heightAdjustMode property. By default, the Tab content heightAdjustMode property is set to Content value.

  • None: Each tab content height is set based on the Tab height. This value is used only the tab component having the height property.
  • Auto: Each tab content height will take the maximum height of all other tabs content.
  • Content: Each tab content height is set based on their own content.
  • Fill: Each tab content height is set based on the full height of Tabs parent element.
