   - Keyboard navigation with arrow keys (Left/Right for horizontal, Up/Down for vertical)
   - Home and End key support for first/last tab navigation
   - ARIA-compliant accessibility with proper roles and attributes

      Position of the tab headers relative to the content.
      



.. js:data:: ui.tabs.HoopsTabsElement.selectedIndex

      .. rst-class:: sig-pretty-signature
      
         | selectedIndex: *number*

.. js:method:: ui.tabs.HoopsTabsElement.connectedCallback

      .. rst-class:: sig-pretty-signature
      
         | connectedCallback(): *void*
      
      Invoked when the component is added to the document's DOM.
      
      In ``connectedCallback()`` you should setup tasks that should only occur when the element is connected to the document. The most common of these is adding event listeners to nodes external to the element, like a keydown event handler added to the window.
      
      .. code-block:: ts
      
         connectedCallback() {
           super.connectedCallback();
           addEventListener('keydown', this._handleKeydown);
         }
      
      Typically, anything done in ``connectedCallback()`` should be undone when the element is disconnected, in ``disconnectedCallback()``\ .
      
      **Returns**\ : *void*
      



.. js:method:: ui.tabs.HoopsTabsElement.selectByValue

      .. rst-class:: sig-pretty-signature
      
         | selectByValue(**value**\ : *string*\ ): *void*
      
      Selects a tab by its value property.
      
      **Parameters**
      
      
         **value**\ : *string*
      
      
            The value of the tab to select
      
      
      
      **Returns**\ : *void*
      



.. js:method:: ui.tabs.HoopsTabsElement.willUpdate

      .. rst-class:: sig-pretty-signature
      
         | willUpdate(**changedProperties**\ : (*PropertyValueMap* | *Map*\ )): *void*
      
      Invoked before ``update()`` to compute values needed during the update.
      
      Implement ``willUpdate`` to compute property values that depend on other properties and are used in the rest of the update process.
      
      .. code-block:: ts
      
         willUpdate(changedProperties) {
           // only need to check changed properties for an expensive computation.
           if (changedProperties.has('firstName') || changedProperties.has('lastName')) {
             this.sha = computeSHA(`${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`);
           }
         }
         
         render() {
           return html`SHA: ${this.sha}`;
         }
      
      **Parameters**
      
      
         **changedProperties**\ : (*PropertyValueMap* \| *Map*\ )
      
      
      **Returns**\ : *void*
