Default Tab

[seedy]

I must be missing something obvious, but I cant seem to find a way to set which tab is defaulted at startup.

Upon form loading, you can use something similar to this:

radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.SelectedTab = radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.Items[0];

or this

TabItem item = radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.Items[1] as TabItem;
item.IsSelected = true;

I have also not found the way to do this at design time (could not located the IsSelected property in the PropertyGrid per TabItem)

Hello Corey,

Selecting a tab can be done even easier like:

this.radRibbonBar1.RibbonBarElement.TabStripElement.SelectedTab = this.tabItem1;

All the best,

Ok I'll give those a try, although my problem seems to have disappeared for now. 

What I was seeing was that after I had created a second and third tab, it was actually the second tab that was opened by default, without me having any code in place doing so.  I just launched it this morning, and it looks like the first tab is defaulting now, so im not sure what happened there.

thanks

Hello Seedy,

The problem you experienced might be due to problems with the Visual Studio Design Time environment and you can try to solve them by restarting the VS.NET environment. If you have experienced any other similar problems don't hesitate to write us further.
