| -The sample demonstrates how to change the Tab view header color using MVVM in .NET MAUI TabView |
| 1 | +This section outlines the step-by-step process to change the Tab view header color using the MVVM pattern within a [.NET MAUI TabView](https://www.syncfusion.com/maui-controls/maui-tab-view). By binding the [TabBarBackground](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/maui/Syncfusion.Maui.TabView.SfTabView.html#Syncfusion_Maui_TabView_SfTabView_TabBarBackground) property to a color field in the ViewModel, you can dynamically alter the header color. |

| 3 | +**Step 1: Initialize TabView in .NET MAUI Page** |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | + Begin by creating a new sample in .NET MAUI. Initialize the TabView control within the content page and set the BindingContext property to associate it with a ViewModel. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +**XAML:** |
| 8 | +``` |
| 9 | +<ContentPage.BindingContext> |
| 10 | + <local:ViewModel/> |
| 11 | +</ContentPage.BindingContext> |
| 12 | +
|
| 13 | +``` |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +**Step 2: Create Model and ViewModel Classes** |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +In the code-behind file, create the necessary Model and ViewModel classes. Establish an Observable collection within the ViewModel to represent the items within the TabView. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +**C#** |
| 20 | +``` |
| 21 | +public class Model |
| 22 | +{ |
| 23 | + public string Name { get; set; } |
| 24 | + public long Number { get; set; } |
| 25 | +} |
| 26 | +``` |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +**Step 3: Define Color Field in ViewModel** |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +Within the ViewModel, create a new color field that will be used to bind to the `TabBarBackground` property of the TabView. Assign the desired color value to this field and expose it through a public property. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +**C#** |
| 33 | +``` |
| 34 | +
|
| 35 | +public class ViewModel |
| 36 | +{ |
| 37 | + public Color TabHeaderColor { get; set; } |
| 38 | + public ObservableCollection<Model> ContactList { get; set; } |
| 39 | +
|
| 40 | + } |
| 41 | + public ViewModel() |
| 42 | + { |
| 43 | + TabHeaderColor = Colors.Aqua; |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + ContactList = new ObservableCollection<Model>(); |
| 46 | + ContactList.Add(new Model { Name = "Aaron", Number = 7363750 }); |
| 47 | + ContactList.Add(new Model { Name = "Adam", Number = 7323250 }); |
| 48 | + ContactList.Add(new Model { Name = "Adrian", Number = 7239121 }); |
| 49 | + ContactList.Add(new Model { Name = "Alwin", Number = 2329823 }); |
| 50 | + ContactList.Add(new Model { Name = "Alex", Number = 8013481 }); |
| 51 | + ContactList.Add(new Model { Name = "Alexander", Number = 7872329 }); |
| 52 | + ContactList.Add(new Model { Name = "Barry", Number = 7317750 }); |
| 53 | + } |
| 54 | +
|
| 55 | +} |
| 56 | +``` |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +**Step 4: Bind TabBarBackground Property** |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +In the XAML page, bind the TabBarBackground property of the TabView to the TabHeaderColor property in the ViewModel. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +**XAML:** |
| 63 | +``` |
| 64 | +<tabView:SfTabView TabBarBackground="{Binding TabHeaderColor, Mode=TwoWay}" > |
| 65 | + <tabView:SfTabItem Header="Calls"> |
| 66 | + <tabView:SfTabItem.Content> |
| 67 | + <Grid BackgroundColor="White" x:Name="AllContactsGrid" > |
| 68 | + <ListView x:Name="ContactListView" |
| 69 | + ItemsSource="{Binding ContactList}" |
| 70 | + RowHeight="75"> |
| 71 | + <ListView.ItemTemplate> |
| 72 | + <DataTemplate> |
| 73 | + <ViewCell> |
| 74 | + <StackLayout Orientation="Vertical" Margin="30,0,0,0"> |
| 75 | + <Label Text="{Binding Name}" |
| 76 | + FontSize="24"/> |
| 77 | + <Label |
| 78 | + Text="{Binding Number}" |
| 79 | + FontSize="20" |
| 80 | + TextColor="LightSlateGray"/> |
| 81 | + </StackLayout> |
| 82 | + </ViewCell> |
| 83 | + </DataTemplate> |
| 84 | + </ListView.ItemTemplate> |
| 85 | + </ListView> |
| 86 | + </Grid> |
| 87 | + </tabView:SfTabItem.Content> |
| 88 | + </tabView:SfTabItem> |
| 89 | + <tabView:SfTabItem Header="Favorites"> |
| 90 | + <tabView:SfTabItem.Content> |
| 91 | + <Grid BackgroundColor="Green" x:Name="FavoritesGrid" /> |
| 92 | + </tabView:SfTabItem.Content> |
| 93 | + </tabView:SfTabItem> |
| 94 | + <tabView:SfTabItem Header="Contacts"> |
| 95 | + <tabView:SfTabItem.Content> |
| 96 | + <Grid BackgroundColor="Red" x:Name="AllContacts" /> |
| 97 | + </tabView:SfTabItem.Content> |
| 98 | + </tabView:SfTabItem> |
| 99 | +</tabView:SfTabView> |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +``` |
| 102 | + |
