MdlTabsComponent - set selected tab programmatically

[maku]

Thank you for your great work. I am using MDL with angular2 for some time but not with such a component abstraction (was not aware of this library until recently)

So, I am trying it out, and first the tabs component....

When I set the selectIndex property programmatically nothing happens.

Would be really good to be able to switch the selected tab.

What do you think?

And one more. I use the tab panels also with icons (instead of title). And more customizations.. (title with icons - and icons are dynamically show or hidden)
So a great improvement would be a construct like:

<mdl-tab-panel>
   <mdl-tab-panel-title>Do whatever you want</mdl-tab-panel-title>
</mdl-tab-panel>

hi thx for your feedback! Adding the possibility to set the selectedIndex programmatically should not be the big deal - coming soon. For richer tabs I need to find a way without breaking the original material design lite implementation - will need some time...

Really great work. THANKS!!!
Tried to get it to work with rc.5 but without luck: chrome console throws the following error:

zone.js:461 Unhandled Promise rejection: Template parse errors:
Can't bind to 'ngModel' since it isn't a known property of 'input'. ("
    (focus)="onFocus()" 
    (blur)="onBlur()"
    [ERROR ->][ngModel]="value">
  <span class="mdl-checkbox__label"><ng-content></ng-content></span>
  <span class"): MdlCheckboxComponent@4:4 ; Zone: <root> ; Task: Promise.then ; Value: BaseException {message: "Template parse errors:↵Can't bind to 'ngModel' sin…</span>↵  <span class"): MdlCheckboxComponent@4:4", stack: "Error: Template parse errors:↵Can't bind to 'ngMod…ocalhost:4200/vendor/zone.js/dist/zone.js:356:38)"}

any idea?

Hi! Support for rc5 is in the pipeline... Please stay tuend. I hope to finish this in the next week. There are still some testing issues and the prod build throws :(.

version 1.3.1 now supports programmatically tab selection and rich tab titles.
